Publisher Description
In Neil Simon's darkly funny memoir of his family in 1930's Brooklyn, fourteen-year-old Eugene is preoccupied by his passion for the Yankees and his lust for his beautiful cousin, Nora. Eugene's comic growing pains contrast with the darker issues troubling his family: poverty, illness, and the growing Nazi threat to relatives in Europe. Simon creates a Brooklyn universe full of memorable characters, humor, and truth. A BBC coproduction. An LA Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Max Casella, Peter Michael Goetz, Valerie Harper, Alexana Lambros, Anna Sophie Loewenberg, Jonathan Silverman, and Joyce Van Patten.
