Red-Hot Lovers always exist
24 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
I very much liked Neil Simon's three-act play 'Last of the Red-Hot Lovers' because this tragicomic play is also a psychological analysis of the middle class people in search of love, sex, security and happiness. The plot is Barney's attempts at extramarital affair. When he is 47, after 23 years of married life with three kids, he begins to look for someone new. Why ? because for the first time in his life he begins to think about dying. The thought of death becomes a part of his life. The only way out for him is new excitements and new hopes that will make his life more colorful. This play is certainly worth reading. Don't miss it !

I hate this misogynistic play
20 Jun 2005
Format:Hardcover
I really can't stand this play. We're supposed to feel sorry for selfish, ridiculous Barney, who says he loves his wife, yet is trying to have a one-afternoon stand in his mother's apartment, and with the most awful women. I actually felt sorry for the women, although I don't think that was Neil Simon's intention. I really don't care about Barney and his midlife crisis. Did he ever think that every single person on this earth who has time to think about it worries about their own mortality and not accomplishing anything in the time they have on the planet. But they don't consider a tacky 2-hour sexfest to be the accomplishment of a lifetime! At least I HOPE not. Never once does Barney consider anything but his need for a little pathetic excuse for excitement. What about his poor wife? What was supposed to happen to the woman he thinks is so wonderful if she finds out he was making it with her best friend? It's disgusting, Barney is a horrible character, and I can't believe this play worked for anybody even in the 1970's. The female characters are stereotypes, not real people (maneating Mrs. Robinson, flaky hippy chick and depressed Jewish lady). They're right out of "Love, American Style" except that was less bitter and funnier.
