Synopsis
Neil Simon’s famous update of this contemporary classic starts with a group of women friends playing their regular game of Trivial Pursuit. This week, the coterie is meeting at the apartment of Olive Madison, a divorcee who freely admits to being a slob. “I leave a mess when I read a book.” Late to arrive is Florence Unger, a stickler for detail who would try the patience of a saint, who had unfortunately just become separated from her husband. As life would have it, the slob and the fuss-budget decide to room together – with hilarious results.
