Play review - "Chapter Two" by Neil Simon (audio version)

 One of Simon's classics - from the heart, famously based on his own remarriage after the death of his first wife. I hope Marsha Mason got a percentage.

It's more screenplay like - lots of short scenes. That's the best way - we see the lead, George, grieving, then flirting with the girl, the marriage, the troubles. There's lots of humour but it's all character based and written with much affection. It would've been awful for him to stuff this up and he didn't.
