Meet The Odd Couple—two men estranged from their wives who move in together to save money, and find that they have the same problems living with each other as they did with their wives.
Neil Simon has created an eclectic group of personalities, all long-time friends, and placed them in a space covered with the debris of Oscar's newfound bachelor life. Despite the insults and digs, this is clearly a group of middle-aged men who enjoy each other's company, even when they are not playing poker. Each member of the group is secure in his place; each feels comfortable; each feels as though he belongs…enter Oscar’s best friend and total opposite, Felix Ungar and their world is set to shift in surprising ways.
Part of Neil Simon’s genius is, the ability to create believable characters and believable dialogue while making us laugh.
