Last of the Red Hot Lovers
by Neil Simon
Warm witty and romantic.
“Mr. Simon has created a great character here…it is extraordinarily funny and yet also charming…as witty as ever, perhaps wittier.” – The New York Times
Middle-aged and married, overworked and overweight, Barney Cashman wants to join the sexual revolution before it’s too late and arranges three seductions:
the first, Elaine Navazio proves to be a foul-mouthed bundle of neuroses;
Bobbi Michele is next, a 20-ish actress who’s too kooky by half;
finally comes September and Jeanette Fisher, a gloomy, depressed housewife who happens to be married to Barney’s best friend.

“Delightfully hilarious and witty, as well as filled with wisdom about human nature…an uproariously funny author. But he is far more than that. He has a mellow and compassionate understanding of how weak and essentially well meaning mankind behaves…a genuinely brilliant play.” – New York Post
“Despite its age, Last of the Red Hot Lovers has a vintage charm and a universal, timeless quality that keeps it red hot.” – Salut Star, Read More
“Blisteringly funny!” – The Philadelphia Inquirer,
