Winner of the New York Drama
Critics Circle Award for Best Play
November 20 - December 13, 2009
Written by Neil Simon
Directed by Richie Lester & Lisa Bankert
Set in the summer of 1937, this story draws on Simon’s own experiences growing up in a lower-middle-class family in Brighton Beach, New York. Fourteen year-old Eugene Jerome stands in for the author as the play’s narrator, a young boy dealing with his own burgeoning sexual awareness while dreaming of playing baseball for his beloved New York Yankees. Through Eugene's eyes, we see a family rich with characters, including a formidable mother, an overworked father, and an idealistic but impulsive older brother. Throw into the mix his widowed aunt and her two young daughters and you have a cast of characters that are at once eccentric, inspiring, familiar and amusing. The first of Simon’s three-part semi-autobiographical trilogy, Brighton Beach Memoirs combines Simon’s trademark humor with a bittersweet tale of perseverance in the face of adversity.

In many respects his funniest, richest and consequently
the most affecting of his plays.
~ N.Y. Daily News
Simultaneously poignant and funny. The characters are
fully dimensional,
believable...an outstanding show...the best seen
on Broadway in too long a time.
~ Variety
