BWW Reviews: 'Ein seltsames Paar' im Schlosspark Theater

Als Neil Simons Komödie 'Ein seltsames Paar' 1965 seine Welturaufführung erlebte, dachte der Autor wohl selber am wenigsten daran das sein Stück auch fast 50 Jahre später immer noch auf den Spielplänen der unterschiedlichsten Häuser steht. Damals waren Art Carney und Walter Matthau als 'odd couple' zu sehen. Matthau wiederholte seine Bühnenrolle dann wenig später in der Verfilmung von Gene Saks mit Jack Lemmon als Felix. Am Samstag Abend feierte dasbeliebte Stück Premiere in der Inszenierung von Adelheid Müther.
