Lost in Yonkers
Synopsis
Written By: Neil Simon
This Pulitzer Prize winning play is a coming of age tale about a dysfunctional German-Jewish family set during World War II.
The story is set in Yonkers, New York, where two young boys have been left with their over-controlling grandmother while their father has to go away to earn money to pay off medical bills following the death of his wife. Their mentally retarded Aunt Bella also lives in the house and is delighted her nephews have come to stay – meanwhile their Uncle Louie is a small time gangster.
