Neil Simon’s re-working of his original classic, made famous by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau on the big screen, The Odd Couple (female version) is a comedy of hilarity, neuroses and friendship pushed to its limits!
The story concerns divorced Olive, a slob of a woman who hates housework and cooking. When her friend Florence is kicked out by her husband, Olive invites her to move in. Florence is the total opposite of Olive – she loves cooking and is very house-proud. What ensues is a battle of wills that mirrors their disastrous marriages and now threatens their friendship.
