The ODD COUPLE
By Neil Simon
Directed by Raugi Yu

At Richmond Cultural Centre
August 13 - 21, 2008
At The Roundhouse Performance Centre
The Odd Couple by Neil Simon tells the story of two mismatched roommates, Felix and Oscar. Felix, a neat and tidy health-nut newswriter, recently comes face-to-face with an end to his doomed marriage. In desperate need for a place to live, he moves in with his long-time friend, Oscar, a sloppy, slovenly divorced sports journalist. In the process of battling for their undying friendship, their differing lifestyles inevitably lead to cataclysmic conflicts and laughs! The Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre adds an extra twist to the story - one is a Canadian born Asian and the other is a recent immigrant.
