Theatre - The Odd Couple |

Compulsive neat freak Felix Unger is thrown out of
his house by his divorce bound wife. He wanders aimlessly
through the streets of New York, toying with the idea
of suicide, before gravitating to the apartment of his
best friend, incorrigibly sloppy sportswriter Oscar
Madison. Worried that Felix will try something desperate,
Oscar himself in the process of being divorced by his
wife, invites Felix to move in with him. Within a few
days, this mismatched pair is on the verge of mutual
murder: Felix cannot abide Oscar’s slovenliness,
while Oscar is drive insane by Felix’s obsession
with cleanliness. Bring money for lunch.
