Abilene Community Theatre invites you to come see Neil Simon's Chapter Two!

......................................................................................................................................

CHAPTER TWO is about widowed writer, George Schneider, who is introduced by his press agent brother to soap opera actress Jennie Malone. Jennie's marriage to a football player has dissolved after six years. Both are uncertain of their readiness to start dating and developing a new romance when her breakup is so recent and he still has recurring memories of his deceased wife, Barbara. CHAPTER TWO is a heavily semi-autobiographical, as Simon’s first wife, Joan, died in 1973. As Sheridan Morley writes,

This was in some ways the turning-point for Simon, the moment when he started to use his own life as something more than an excuse for a gag-fest. It was written as a tribute to Marsha Mason, his second wife, and her tolerance with his long-lasting grief over the death of his first wife...There is something very painful here, in among the gags, about a man trying to come to terms with death rather than a new life.
