Prisoner of Second Avenue

By Neil Simon
Directed by Gary Stern

Mel is a well paid executive in a company which has suddenly hit the skids. When he gets the ax, his wife takes a job to tide them over. Then she too is sacked. As if this weren’t enough, polluted air is killing everything that grows on his terrace. Also, the walls of the high rise apartment are paper thin so the private lives of a pair of German stewardesses next door are open books to him. Mel does the only thing left: he has a nervous breakdown, but he is admirably resilient and has the grit to survive..
