VSC's 34th Season Will Close With THE ODD COUPLE
The Odd Couple by Neil Simon, America's best-loved tale of opposites will close out VSC's 34th season with loads of laughter. Felix, Oscar and the whole gang will be onstage at Norfolk's Wells Theatre as the show runs April 2 - 21, 2013.
In this classic American comedy, old habits die hard but friendship stays true. Newly divorced, a sloppy sportswriter and a fastidious newswriter test their friendship by becoming roommates. Along the way hilarity ensues as they fall back into the behaviors that troubled their ex-wives.
"Although written a few years ago, Neil Simon's plays have never seemed more contemporary or funny than they do today. Simon understood that stories don't have to be serious or funny. They can be both, and that can happen at the same time," said VSC Artistic Director Chris Hanna.
