Lewis and Clark – 2 names that defined comedy. That is until Al Lewis decided to retire after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Unfortunately that meant that Willie Clark also had to retire, and he wasn’t ready. Eleven years later, and Willie’s nephew and agent tries to get them back together for a television event on the history of comedy. But eleven years without speaking has allowed the niggles of the 43 years they worked together to grow to massive proportions, and the plan is doomed to disaster from the off. Neil Simon gives us a classic play which fires the one-liners at a rapid pace, but with the mutual respect and friendship showing through in the end.
