In Lost in Yonkers Neil Simon has found himself. For all their popularity, his recent "autobiographical" trilogy - "Brighton Beach Memoirs", "Biloxi Blues", "Broadway Bound" - didn't succeed in stitching Simon the Funny and Simon the Serious into a new creature, Simon the Pure. Too often he was dishing out one from column A and one from column B: have a laugh, have a tear. In his 27th play laughter and tears have come together in a new emotional truth. There are moments in this play when you experience a new kind of laughter for Simon, a silent laughter that doesn't explode into a yuk but implodes straight into your heart.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - yuk
