Neat freak Felix Ungar (Shaun Micallef) and grouchy slob Oscar Madison (Francis Greenslade) find themselves living under the same roof in Neil Simon’s classic comedy.
Oscar is hosting the regular poker game but Felix, who is never late, hasn’t shown up. After a call to Felix’s wife, Oscar discovers the couple have split up, and his friend has taken it pretty hard. When he finally shows up, Oscar suggests Felix moves in with him. Two bachelors, no wives – what could be better? In director Peter Houghton’s version, the opposites find themselves mysterious attracted and deliver some pretty strong one-liners along the way.
