Brighton Beach Memoirs

By Neil Simon

In this first of Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical plays, 15-year-old Eugene Jerome dreams of girls and baseball. But in his everyday life he must cope with the mundane existence of family life in 1937 Brooklyn -- a formidable mother, an overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche and her two young (but rapidly maturing) daughters, and you have a recipe for hilarity served up Neil Simon style. With warmhearted humor, this bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household, where, as Eugene's father states, "if you didn't have a problem, you wouldn't be living here."
