Genre: Dramatic Comedy Characters: 3 males, 3 females Scenery:
Interior Maureen Stapleton won Broadway's Tony Award as Best
Actress for the role of Evy Meara, a popular singer who has hit the
skids. After a short stay in rehab, her best friend age-defying
Toby, her daughter Polly, and Jimmy Perry, a gay actor try to help
her adjust to sobriety with a jolly birthday party. Enter Lou
Tanner, a former lover, who ends up giving her a black eye. The
party is a wash out, the "gingerbread lady" falls off the wagon and
hits the ropes once again. Later rewritten by Neil Simon as the
film Only When I Laugh starring Marsha Mason. "He has combined an
amusing comedy with the atmosphere of great sadness. His
characteristic wit and humor are at their brilliant best, and his
serious story of lost misfi ts can often be genuinely and deeply
touching." - New York Post "Mr. Simon's play is as funny as
ever-the customary avalanche of hilarity, and landslide of pure
unbuttoned joy." - The New York Times
