Last of the Red Hot Lovers

Barney Cashman at the age of 47 wants to join the sexual revolution before it's too late, but Barney Cashman is a gentle sober soul with a true blue wife of 23 years and absolutely no experience in adultery, so he fails in each of three seductions

First he tries a flaunting sexpot who likes cigarettes, whiskey and husbands other than her own. Barney is not properly set up for such compulsions, especially in his mother's apartment, so he flunks the course. But he's got a better idea; a kooky actress friend should be just the ticket

But she turns madder than a hatter. So that leaves his wife's best friend. But unfortunately the friend is a sternly driven moralist who sees sin round every bend. Obviously Barney was born to failure

"Mr. Simon has created a great character here. . . . It is extraordinarily funny and yet also charming. . . . He is as witty as ever, perhaps wittier" ~ N.Y. Times

"Delightfully hilarious and witty, as well as filled with wisdom about human nature . . . . An uproariously funny author. But he is far more than that. He has a mellow and compassionate understanding of how weak and essentially well meaning mankind behaves. . . . A genuinely brilliant play" ~ N.Y. Post
