Neil Simon actually made a funny play from the Book of Job transferring the scene to a Long Island mansion where resides a tycoon, his wife, a prodigal son, and a pair of kooky twins. Then one night a messenger from God enters with a big G on his sweatshirt."

"Mr. Carmichael has again proved himself an inventive and amusing playwright. He has taken an old plot rob from the rich and give to the poor. not even Robin Hood would recognize the hilarious modern slant given to it. Four old people meet to report on their good works in the "Charities Anonymous Club." Through the plot there is woven an unusual love story, moments of satire, and show stopping situations of hilarity."

"The proof of a comedy is in the audience's laughter and this is packed with it." 

"Where other playwrights strike for the heart, Carmichael strikes the funny bone...horseplay unlimited with generious helpings of satire."

Play It Again Sam

Woody Allen

Director: Tim Luke

Year: 2007

"Our homely hero has this thing about Humphrey Bogart. If only he had some of Bogart's technique! Homely heroes being in scarce supply, Bogey comes to the rescue, with a fantastic bevy of beauties. His friends try to fix him up with beautiful dates, but he's so gauche that they always end abysmally even though Bogart is there, urging him on."

"Hilarious... A cheerful romp. Not only are Mr. Allen's jokes with their follow ups, asides and twists audaciously brilliant, but he has a great sense of character." N.Y. Times. 

"A funny, likeable comedy that has a surprising amount of wistful appeal." N.Y. Post
