Episode description

Known for wild comedies, Neil Simon is one of the all-time greats in American theatre. His play "Lost in Yonkers" breaks his mold of near-farcical plays, instead edging closer to the standard psychological drama of the time. In this episode of No Script, Jackson and Jacob piece apart Simon's family story - especially the worldview of "Grandma."
