Neil Simon's Last of the Red Hot Lovers

This vintage comedy by Simon has at its core, Barney Cashman, a middle-aged, married nebbish who wants to join the sexual revolution before it's too late. A gentle soul with no experience in adultery, he attempts three seductions - a sexpot who likes cigarettes, whiskey, and other women's husbands; an actress who he discovers is madder than a hatter; and his wife's best friend, who is a very depressed woman.
The original Broadway production, directed by Robert Moore, opened on December 28, 1969 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where it ran for 706 performances. The original cast included James Coco, Linda Lavin, Doris Roberts, and Marcia Rodd. The play, Coco, Lavin, and Moore all were nominated for Tony Awards. Later, Simon adapted his play for a 1972 film directed by Gene Saks. The cast included Alan Arkin, Sally Kellerman, Paula Prentiss, and Renée Taylor.
