Great Play!
Derived From Web , May 28, 2022
My husband planned to audition for the role of Oscar Madison and wanted to get a copy of the play ASAP so that he could go over the lines. It arrived 3 days after I ordered it, which gave him plenty of time to review the lines and he got the part!

No one can replace or be better than klugman and Randall
Derived From Web , May 28, 2022
I've been watching the current tv show. No one can replace Rodger and Randall or be better than Klugman. The second place is close with Matthau and Lemon! Simon is a one of the great playwrights of the American theater.

If you think you know the play because you saw the movie a long time ago, think again. The book arrived quickly and in great condition.

Classic comedy script in great condition
Derived From Web , May 28, 2022
Neil Simon's The Odd Couple is a classic American comedy film about two very different men thrown together at a turning point in their lives. The interaction between them and the supporting characters makes a fun experience for both the cast and the audience. The copy I received from Amazon was in great condition and will be very helpful in preparing for our upcoming run of this delightful play.

One of the fastest, funniest games I ever read. This one and Noises Off are the funniest I have been involved.
