When Snow White escapes to the forest, she meets the Several Sillies who befriend her, especially Really Silly who is taken by her beauty and charm.

Niel Simon's

The Last of the Red Hot Lovers

Barney Cashman, married and in the throes of a mid-life crisis, arranges three attempts at a fling he so desperately wants. Elaine shows up first, but proves to be a bundle of neuroses. Then there's Bobbi, a 20-ish actress who's way too kooky. And at last there's gloomy, depressed Jeanette, who just happens to be married to Barney's best friend. It's Neil Simon at his funniest with a compassionate look at human nature. "A genuinely brilliant play." N. Y. Post   "As witty as ever, perhaps wittier." N.Y. Times
