The Collected Plays, Vol. 1 by Neil Simon
This first volume of The Collected Plays of Neil Simon contains the triumphs that put his unique brand of comic genius on the American stage, and made him the most successful playwright of his generation.

This volume includes:
•  Come Blow Your Horn
•  Barefoot in the Park
•  The Odd Couple
•  Plaza Suite
•  The Star-Spangled Girl
•  Promises, Promises
•  Last of the Red Hot Lover
• And an Introduction by the author: “Portrait of the Writer as a Schizophrenic”

Neil Simon’s mixture of verbal wit and beautifully crafted farce, ethnic humor and insight into universal foible, and above all compassion and understanding, make even his sharpest barbs touch the heart as well as the funny bone. These seven plays, beginning with his unforgettable debut, Come Blow Your Horn , make us laugh uproariously even as we indelibly identify with the objects of our laughter.
