Iconic pairing for on stage hit The Odd Couple at Cork's Everyman

Legendary writer Neil Simon had a long list of stage and screen hits to his name, but The Odd Couple remains one of his most famous, with the iconic pairing of Jack Lemmon as fussy Felix and Walter Matthau as slob Oscar making for a memorable and much-loved movie.

Now this quintessential slice of New York wit and humour is coming to the Everyman in Cork, but in a version that comes with a twist. It will probably come as a surprise to many that Simon actually wrote three versions of The Odd Couple, the original, another featuring a man and a woman, and a third featuring two women.
