The
Odd Couple (Female Version) Neil Simon was in top-notch form when he wrote “The Odd Couple (Female Version). The play is fast paced and hilarious. It is a wonderful tonic to chase away the mid winter blues. Florence Unger, the neurotic neat freak, moves in with Olive Madison, the loveable slob. Although these two women are great friends and care deeply about each other, they immediately get on each other’s nerves. Through several side-splitting sequences the tension builds between the women until the last straw- the final explosion that mercifully blows the couple apart.
The cast has: Patricia Boyd as Florence Unger, Kathleen Jetté as Olive Madison, Angela Thompson as Mickey, Liza Stekolnikova as Sylvie, Annemarie Zeyl as Reneé, Sacha Bedard as Manolo, and Mark Johnstone as “Hayzoos”.

Adding
dimension to the play and insight into the main characters, not
to mention countless laughs are the vivacious friends: Mickey the
cop; Reneé, a single thirty-something; Sylvie, the cynic; and Vera,
sweet but not too swift (“If she took speed she might be able to
keep up!”); and the Constanzuela brothers.
