May 11th, 2022The Odd Couple

THE Mount Players’ second production for our 2022 season, The Odd Couple, is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

The comedy hit play The Odd Couple by Neil Simon was originally written in 1965 and was made into a film in 1968 starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
The success of the film was the basis for the American sitcom starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.
This timeless classic is set in the smoke-filled apartment of Oscar Madison, who lives like a slob.
Felix, one of his regular weekly poker game guests, moves in, having been thrown out by his wife.
Felix is a neat freak and the blokey poker nights change dramatically as the slob and his new roommate find each other impossible to live with.
Warning – this play contains suicide references and herbal cigarettes are used.
The season runs from Friday, May 13 to Sunday, May 29. Tickets can be booked at www.themountplayers.com or call 5426 1892 for assistance.
