1213's "The Odd Couple" on CBC Radio March 2010

12.13 Productions presents Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple", the female version at the Capitol Theatre, Windsor, Ontario. March 26, 27 & 28, 2010. Call 519-962-8865 for tickets.

Neil Simon's famous update of his contemporary classic "The Odd Couple" - only this time it is Trivial Pursuit not Poker. This week, the group is meeting at the apartment of Olive Madison, a divorcee who freely admits to being a slob: "I leave a mess when I read a book." Late to arrive is Florence Unger, a stickler for detail who would try the patience of a saint, and who has unfortunately just become separated from her husband. As life would have it, the slob and the fuss-budget decide to room together -- with hilarious results! Within days, Florence's obsessive habits start taking their toll on Olive and their friends. The only remedy Olive can think of (a pair of brothers from Barcelona) disastrously backfires, and the two women are forced to agree on one thing -- even the best of friends sometimes make the worst of roommates.

The production will star Norma Coleman as Olive Madison and Nicola Adams as Florence Unger.

Also appearing: Julia Burgess, Petra Creede, Sarah FitzGerald, Anna Rosati-Loft and Tim Bass and Christopher Lanspeary as the "Costazuela brothers".

Directed by Mario Carnevale
