Play Reading with Jan-Marie Cook - "The Odd Couple" & "The Odd Couple:Female Version" by Neil Simon

Description

Felix Ungar, a neurotic, neat-freak newswriter, is thrown out by his wife, and moves in with his friend Oscar Madison, a messy sportswriter. Despite Oscar's problems – careless spending, excessive gambling, a poorly kept house filled with spoiled food – he seems to enjoy life. Felix, however, seems utterly incapable of enjoying anything and only finds purpose in pointing out his own and other people's mistakes and foibles.

"The Odd Couple: Female Version"
Florence is completely devastated that her 10-year marriage ends. She goes over to Olive's apartment where their regular game of Trivial Pursuit goes on. Olive takes Florence in and soon regrets her decision. Florence drives Olive crazy with her constant cooking, cleaning, and making sure they live in an immaculate apartment that would make Howard Hughes jealous.
