Will Rice Will Make You Laugh: The Odd Couple

The Will Rice Players' production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple may sound like an unassuming little play, but it manages to deliver a highly entertaining experience for fans of comedy and drama alike.Written for Broadway in 1965, the play centers on a man named Oscar who has been divorced for some time and lives alone in an eight-room apartment. He decides to take in his friend Felix, who has recently separated from his own wife. Eventually, their polar-opposite personalities begin to clash, and this conflict forms the humorous centerpiece of The Odd Couple.
