In January 2012, we will present a moving, laugh-filled work of emotional complexity by America's favourite comic playwright, Neil Simon. With Jake's Women, Simon makes a hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships. Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes poignant flashbacks and fantasies in his mind are played out on stage, and are frequently interrupted by visitations from women in the real world, often forcing Jake to struggle to keep his sanity as he attempts to carry on two conversations at once, and, as time goes on, tries to discern whom among the women he is talking to are real, and whom are just figments of his imagination...

Jake's women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife. Will Jake sort out his problems and make his life work in the real world, or will he find that he can only survive in a world of fiction and fantasy…
