Neil Simon's inimitable play about the trials and tribulations that
test family ties - winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
What happens to children in the absence of love? That is the
question that lies at the heart of this funny and heartrending play
by one of America's most acclaimed and beloved playwrights.
Debuting at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 1990, "Lost in "Yonkers
went on to win four Tony Awards, including Best Play, as well as
the Pulitzer Prize, and tells the moving drama about the cruelties
and painful memories that scar a family.
It is New York, 1942. After the death of their mother, two young
brothers are sent to stay with their formidable grandmother for the
longest ten months of their lives. Grandmother Kurnitz is a
one-woman German front--a refugee and a widow who has steeled her
heart against the world. Her coldness and intolerance have crippled
her own children: the boys' father has no self-esteem . . . their
Aunt Gert has an embarrassing speech impediment . . . their Uncle
Louie is a small-time gangster . . . and their Aunt Bella has the
mentality of a child. But it is Bella's hunger for affection and
her refusal to be denied love that saves the boys--and that leads
to an unforgettable, wrenching confrontation with her mother.
Filled with laughter, tears, and insight, "Lost in Yonkers "is yet
another heartwarming testament to Neil Simon's talent.
