Lost in Yonkers
Regarded as Neil Simon's finest play, 'Lost In Yonkers' received both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play in 1991.
Set in 1942, over a candy store in New York, teenage boys Jay and Arty find their lives turned upside down when their father Eddie, moves away for work leaving them in the care of their strong-willed grandma and their lovable and childlike Aunt Bella.
They meet their Uncle Louie, a small time crook and their Aunt Gert who has an unusual affliction. This brilliantly funny yet touching play observes the influence on a family
where love and affection is withheld.
The play is directed by Pat Whelan.
’Lost In Yonkers is at the National Opera House on January 28, 29 and
February 12 & 13.
