The Prisoner of Second Avenue

Theatre Palisades opens their 2022 season with Neil Simon’s “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” March 25 – May 1, 2022.

Mel Edison is a well-paid executive of a high-end Manhattan firm, which has suddenly hit the skids, and he gets the ax. His wife Edna takes a job to tide them over, then she too is sacked. Compounded by the air-pollution killing his plants, and with the walls of the apartment being paper-thin (allowing him a constant ear-full of his neighbor’s private lives), things can’t seem to get any worse…Then he’s robbed and his psychiatrist dies with $23,000 of his money. Mel does the only thing left for him to do: he has a nervous break-down. And, it’s the best thing that ever happened to him…
