THE Lancaster Grand Theatre is pleased to present a Footlights production of "Brighton Beach Memoirs" by Neil Simon.

Mr Simon has had successes from such productions as "California Suite" and "Barefoot in the Park" to name a few.

Brighton Beach Memoirs is set in New York and is an affectionate portrait of life in a warm-hearted Jewish family in the 1940s. The story is seen from the perspective of 14 year old Eugene, who is beset by the usual adolescent hang-ups, mostly concerning girls and sex.

The play is full of witty one-liners and wry, true-to-life detail, "Brighton Beach Memoirs" guarantees to send the audience home with a smile on its face.

The play runs from May 2-6, and tickets are available from the Box Office on 64695.
