On the other hand. an evening that offers some laughs, encounters with stereo typical suburbanites, and mildly surprising plot twists, is not to be dismissed lightly. The introduction to this compilation of seven Simon plays is by the author himself,and titled, "Portrait of the writer as a Schizophrenic." This identifies the creator of these works as an observer of the human condition who notices the ordinary more readily than the unusual. His characters are "stuffed shirt" lawyers, over anxious mothers, slovenly sports writers, and stressed businessmen, each of whom the author has presumably met somewhere. They are engaging, amusing, and humorous. But do they reveal the rest of us to ourselves?I am not sure. The twists of plot are fairly predictable and the unraveling of character is equally so. All Simon's plays are entertaining, but perhaps that is his gift, providing the public with a relaxing evening of laughter and amusement, not a battle with conscience or a summons to social justice. Not that I am ready to dismiss Simon as a shallow writer. He's not that, exactly. But neither is he an Ibsen tearing beneath the shallow surface of existence to discover previously undisclosed truths. So we may come to the end of almost any of his plays satisfied, but unchallenged, relaxed but not profoundly stimulated.Is there a place for this type of drama? Of course there is, but does it come close to being a waste of talent? Perhaps so,in some ways. But if that's case, there's no doubt that Simon has brought delight to many an audience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2021* Book group ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great collection from a great playwright. *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2013* As a speech and debate coach, I'm always looking for pieces for my competitors to perform at tournament. Neil Simon has always been one of my personal favorite authors, because he does such an amazing job of meshing comic gold with poignant social commentary. The first volume of his collected works has some great material that takes very little effort to adapt to whatever presentational format you might need. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8735221-the-collected-plays-of-neil-simon-volume-1-the-odd](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8735221-the-collected-plays-of-neil-simon-volume-1-the-odd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
