Synopsis
The Sunshine Boys is a classic comedy play written by Neil Simon. It premiered on Broadway in 1972 and was later adapted into a successful film in 1975 starring Walter Matthau and George Burns. The story follows Willie Clark and Al Lewis, who were once a highly successful vaudeville comedy team. However, after over 40 years of performing together, their partnership ended acrimoniously. Some dozen years later, a young theatrical agent, who is also Willie's nephew, tries to bring the two older men together for a comedy TV special. Despite their animosity towards each other, they reluctantly agree to reunite for one last performance.
Content Warning -
This play includes a short vaudeville comedy sketch, which includes themes which might be considered unacceptable by today's social norms, namely objectification and sexual innuendo.
