Humor and pathos mingle brilliantly in Neil Simon’s family portrait of the widowed NY novelist who concerns he’ll never love again and does not have any interest in dating. Neither does smart, appealing Jennie Malone, who has simply returned from getting a Mexican divorce. A grudging five-minute meeting between them blossoms into a passionate, witty romance-until they opt to marry. A BBC co-production.

An L.A. Theater Works full-cast overall performance offering David Dukes, Sharon Gless, Gates McFadden and Grant Shaud.
