Brighton Beach Memoirs (London) one copy only

The highly acclaimed 1986 London premiere of Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical triumph 'Brighton Beach Memoirs' opened at the historic National Theatre before its transfer to the Aldwych Theatre. Transporting British audiences into the crowded, 1930s Brooklyn Jewish household of Eugene Jerome, the production was hailed by London critics as a magnificent, textually rich achievement in American dramatic realism. Directed by Michael Blakemore and starring an elite British ensemble including Frances de la Tour and a young Robert Glenister, the work remains an essential monument documenting the international footprint of Simon's masterpiece.
