Brighton Beach Memoirs

The Saybrook Stage Company

Saybrook Stage Company returns to The Kate this June with BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS - one of Neil Simon’s most popular comedies of all time! Inspired by Simon’s own coming of age, Eugene Jerome, a witty, teenage narrator shares his humorous and honest thoughts with the audience as he navigates adolescence, baseball, girls, and family tensions during the Great Depression. Through Simon’s comedic genius, warmth, and moments of deep emotion, the play explores the themes of loyalty, acceptance, responsibility, and resilience that still resonate with us today. Simon reminds us that it is family unity that has the power to conquer any hardship with love, humor, and determination.
