Reviews

The SLTC's Cavalcade of Comedy has reached its third and final week with another transatlantic offering, Neil Simon's 'Prisoner of Second Avenue.'

....Ken Lucas is the director, and he preserves a nice balance between the outward humour and inner anguish of the Edisons' unhappy situation. For this is no ordinary formula boulevard comedy, but a hardhitting examination of the pressures of unemployed existence in New York's urban jungle.
