Middle-aged and married, overworked and overweight, Barney Cashman wants to join the sexual revolution before it's too late and arranges three seductions: the first, Elaine Navazio proves to be a foul-mouthed bundle of neuroses; Bobbi Michele is next, the 20-ish actress who's too kooky by half; finally comes September and Jeanette Fisher, a gloomy depressed housewife who happens to be married to Barney's best friend.
REVIEWS:

"Mr. Simon has created a great character here... it is extraordinarily funny and yet also charming... as witty as ever, perhaps wittier."

The New York Times

"Delightfully hilarious and witty, as well as filled with wisdom about human nature... an uproariously funny author. But he is far more than that. He has a mellow and compassionate understanding of how weak and essentially well meaning mankind behaves... a genuinely brilliant play."

 New York Post

Premiere Production: Last of the Red Hot Lovers was first presented at the Eugene O'Neill Theater in New York City on December 28, 1969. It was directed by Robert Moore.
