Title: Chapter Two by Neil Simon
Presented By: Spotlight Theatrical Company
Genre: Comedy/Drama Play
Synopsis: George and Jennie are in love, utterly perfect for each other, and are getting married. There are just a few problems:
They’ve only been dating for two weeks.
George’s beloved wife has passed away.
Jennie has just gone through years of counselling which culminated in a messy divorce.
Meanwhile, George’s brother Leo and Jennie’s friend Faye have their own marital troubles—and their own questionable chemistry. With heartfelt insight and comedic flair, Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical Chapter Two asks whether finding a soulmate can happen more than once in a lifetime.
