The Sunshine Boys
Written by Neil Simon
Directed by Colin Burring and Margaret Baird
29 November – 4 December 2004
Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.
