The Odd Couple is probably Neil Simon’s most popular work, spawning two films, three TV series and this gender-swapped version of the original play – pretty much identical to that original in all other ways.
Olive is something of a slob who would much rather watch a sports game on TV while drinking beer than make her apartment neat or bother with fresh food or being the genial hostess. All the action is set in her apartment. Her five friends regularly come by to play Trivial Pursuit and socialise. One of these, Florence, leaves her husband at the start of the play and arrives at Olive’s in a suicidal mood. Rather than see her come to harm, Olive offers to let her move in. Unfortunately, Florence is a compulsively neat and efficient person, the antithesis of Olive, and the strain on them both soon becomes apparent. Things come to a head after Florence’s behaviour scuppers a potential romantic rendezvous with the Spanish brothers from the apartment upstairs. In the ensuing argument, Olive tells her to leave and Florence does so, although her final destination is a big surprise for Olive.
