While this might not be the most widely known work in the Simon canon, the play certainly attests to his artistic brilliance. Jake's Women may not have the physical, slapstick comedy seen in The Odd Couple (1965) and California Suite (1976) for example, but it does provide a personal character study capable of entertaining an audience with humor one moment while accentuating the magnetism of a well-crafted relationship the next. What else can we expect from a man with three Tony Awards, a Golden Globe, and a Pulitzer Prize?

Who is real in this New York City loft? What does it take to love while on the brink of insanity? Can a self-centered, narcissistic writer learn to sacrifice the protection of isolation for the strength of commitment? Director Earl Weaver and his cast try to answer those questions in their interpretation of Jake's Women. Enjoy.
