The Odd Couple
Originally conceived by Neil Simon, who based the play on his brother Danny's true-life experience, The Odd Couple is best described in the one-sentence treatment Simon submitted to Paramount, who financed the stage play sight-unseen. "Two men - one divorced and one estranged and neither quite sure why their marriages fell apart - move in together to save money for alimony and suddenly discover they're having the same conflicts and fights they had in their marriages." The successful Broadway run was followed by the hit film, released in 1968, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.

Saw it in Edinburgh. Very, very average. Time to give up on this format (stand-ups surprising us with their acting in a classic story) I'd suggest - it looks tired now. I'm not surprised to see that this didn't make it to the West End. Cuckoo's Nest worked only because of Christian Slater I'm afraid. The supporting cast were instantly forgettable. And it shows in this rather lacklustre production. Emma Jones, January 2006 |
