    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 103 890 CS 201 950 AUTHOR McMahon, Helen TITLF A Rhetoric of American Popular Drama: TheComedies of Neil Simon. PUB DATM Mar 75 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at the National Convention of the Popular Culture Association (5th, St. Louis, March 20-22, 1975) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76HC-$1.58 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Analytical Criticism; *Characterization (Literature); Comedy; *Content Analysis; *Drama; *Literary Criticism; *Playwriting; Stereotypes IDENTIFIERS *Simon (Neil) ABSTRACT This paper discusses generally Neil Simon's plays; specifically examines "God's Favorite," "Plaza Suite," "Barefootin The Park," "Star Spangled Girl," "Come Blow Your Horn,"and "Last of the Red Hot Lovers"; and quotes reviews of the plays. Anexamination of the composition of the plays reveals that they all more orless share certin topics and plot structure, have a veneerof topicality, and are supported by gags, jokes, and absurd behavior.Variations on the themes of unobtainable vain fantasies are played out;the plays all end in the marriage bed, however devious anddeceitful the way has been. The vagaries of sex and guilt, inadequacy andmachismo are all circumscribed and made manageable. It isconcluded that Simon's plays are telhnically unsatisfying because he uses adisjointed tragicomic story line with an enormous number of realistic andcliche details and gags to distract from the disjointed story. His exploitation of the familiar prevents explorationof the serious or the comic. And, for the same reasons, the plays arethematically unsatisfying as well. (T3) U S DEPARTMEWTOF HEALTH.

Moss Solana Beach, CA – THE SUNSHINE BOYS deftly showcases the late Neil Simon’s brilliant ear for sidesplitting dialogue and his sharp eye for physical comedy. Yet beneath the raucous laughter are two vulnerable people struggling to make sense of their lives. North Coast Repertory Theatre has earned numerous accolades by critics and audiences alike for capturing the nuances of Simon’s memorable characters who wrestle with love, loss, work, family and aging. Simon’s plays historically sell out rapidly, so early ticket buying is highly recommended. Jeffrey B. Moss directs Bryan Banville*, Portia Gregory, Phillip Korth, Samantha Roper, James Sutorius*, John Tessmer, and Lenny Wolpe*, in THE SUNSHINE BOYS. The design team includes Marty Burnett (Resident Scenic Designer), Matthew Novotny (Lighting), Elisa Benzoni (Costumes), Aaron Rumley (Sound), Philip Korth (Props) and Peter Herman (Wigs).
