A Neil Simon comedy told in three separate acts, each depicting a different attempted affair by the same middle-aged, happily married restaurateur who, in the midst of a personal crisis, decides he wants to experience a passionate extramarital fling before it's too late. In each act he meets a wildly different woman in his mother's apartment, borrowed for the occasion, and each encounter spirals into comic disaster for entirely different reasons, from an anxious, motor-mouthed neighbor to a jaded professional to his wife's own outspoken best friend. Rather than infidelity, what the play really examines is mid-life anxiety, the fear of aging, and the gap between fantasy and the messy reality of human connection. It's one of Simon's most purely comic explorations of marriage and middle age.
