_The Holywood Players Present Last of The Red Hot Lovers_ a comedy by Neil Simon Barney Cashman is a middle‑aged, mild‑mannered seafood restaurateur feeling the heat of a midlife crisis. With his mother’s apartment as his unlikely hideaway, he decides it’s finally time to add a little adventure to his life. Barney sets out to arrange a series of extramarital escapades, but quickly discovers that seduction is far more complicated, chaotic, and revealing than he ever imagined. Neil Simon’s sharp and affectionate comedy follows Barney’s encounters with three very different women. What begins as a quest for excitement becomes a wonderfully human exploration of longing, identity, and the messy business of trying to reinvent yourself. Premiering on Broadway in 1969, _Last of the Red Hot Lovers_ was celebrated for its wit, warmth, and Simon’s uncanny ability to find truth in the most awkward of moments. A charming, funny, and unexpectedly touching story about desire, disappointment, and the hope for one last spark - this is Neil Simon at his most irresistibly human. AS THIS PLAY WAS WRITTEN IN 1969 IT REFLECTS THE ATTITUDES AND LANGUAGE OF THAT PERIOD.   SUITABLE FOR AGES 12 PLUS. THIS PRODUCTION CONTAINS ADULT THEMES, INCLUDING EXTRAMARITAL RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUAL INNUENDO. WHILE NOT EXPLICIT, IT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES. PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
