Based on part of Neil Simon's own life Chapter Two mixes laughter with heartache. George Schneider, a writer whose wife has recently died, returns to a lonely apartment

His younger brother Leo, a theatrical press agent and born matchmaker, tries to snap George out of his emotional tailspin by supplying him with unwanted and unsuccessful dates. Then Leo comes up with Jennie Malone and she's a winner

Still it's a rocky road ahead for the not so young lovers. George struggles with contradictory impulses to embrace a new life but remain faithful to the old. George and Jennie stumble on, tripping over George's pent up emotions and Jennie's wariness born of her recent marital fiasco

In a hilarious, farcical subplot, Leo has a fling with Faye, Jennie's dizzy and neurotic married friend. The author has up dated numerous references in the script to enhance current productions of this timeless comedy

"Sure smash for Broadway" ~ Variety

"Lovely whimsical and touching and . . . always funny. . . . Most of the time downright hilarious" ~ N.Y. Post
