The winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and considered Simon▓s best play, this show is set in Yonkers in 1942.Neil Simon describes it as "the story about two boys who have lost their mother and whose father is forced to go out of town and become a salesman to earn a living. The father has to leave his boys with their grandmother who is, to say the least, a very austere woman. That old lady is straight out of Dickens. All her children are misfits whom she dominates completely, and the boys have moved into a hornet's nest." Some very humorous and touching moments make this play a masterpiece.

Here, Schubert’s disillusionment with the world’s enormity is coupled with his romantic, escapist longing, to create a symphony of great beauty, complexity, and power.

Imagine a slightly saucy talk show (with host Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame) where anecdotes and diatribes punctuate the musical performance of songs and instrumentals played in amplified acoustic style by Ian and his pals.
