The female version of The Odd Couple is a very funny and entertaining comedy re-written by the original playwright Neil Simon. We are all familiar with the story of the marital separations involving the grubby Oscar and the pedantic Felix, but in this adaptation we meet the raunchy, sloppy non-house proud Olive and a prissy domestic perfectionist, Florence.
The play follows the hilarious exploits of the two women who are bouncing back after their marriages breakdown. They are supported by a tight knit group of female friends, addicted to Trivial Pursuit nights and manage to stir up some trouble with the two Spanish brothers Manolo and Jesus who live upstairs.
