SHOW: Rose and Walsh
By Neil Simon
STORY: This follows two great literary figures and the depth and consequence of their enduring love. Rose, a celebrated but near penniless author, receives visits from Walsh, the love of her life and a famous writer himself. Now Walsh must go away forever.
His extraordinary proposal changes everything.
A comic exploration of enduring love.
"Neil Simon has been dancing around the issue of aging for about a decade now, never going toe to toe with the real consequence of old age: death. In Rose and Walsh, he finally confronts the after life and its effects on loved ones left behind, creating his most rewarding play in years." -Variety
