THE ODD COUPLE

THE VARSCONA THEATRE

Directed by Belinda Cornish

Neil Simon’s classic comedy of mismatched roommates brings the season to a riotous close. When fastidiously domestic Felix exits his marriage with no new home in sight, he finds himself rooming with the irascible Oscar, a divorced dad with a pronounced attachment to slovenliness. Their battles escalate in intensity and hilarity as the two men attempt to create a new kind of co-habitation in the heat of the New York summer.

“MacDonald-Smith puts on a veritable clinic of slapstick comedy, nailing comedic timings and able to pull a laugh with just an expression.” - Justin Bell, Edmonton Journal

“Ariate and MacDonald-Smith, both expert comic actors, are uproarious as Oscar and Felix. Watching MacDonald-Smith try to arrange himself in a low chair is a little comic gem. It’s a performance of great physical dexterity and precision.” - Liz Nicholls, 12th Night
