Each play is comprehensively synopsized, and an in-depth exposition establishing setting and intent precedes each speech. With an introduction by Jack Lemmon. Neil Simon is not only America's foremost playwright, he is also the most produced playwright since Shakespeare. He holds the distinction of being the only playwright in history to have four plays running simultaneously on Broadway. Mr. Karshner is a published playwright. His plays enjoy widespread productions throughout the United States and Canada. His play "The Dream Crust" was selected by Burns Mantle as one American's best.
