Brighton Beach Memoirs was written in 1983 and is seen as a semi autobiography of Simon’s childhood. Set in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, New York in 1937, the main character is fifteen year old Eugene. He deals with his family including his older brother, his parents and his mom’s sister and her two daughters. The play follows the struggling family for a few days and as Eugene’s father says, “If you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t live in this house.” Two family members face heart disease, one has asthma, and two temporarily lose their jobs that are needed to keep the family afloat. Enjoy this play as Simon has combined the comic and seriousness of family life.
The Morning Journal is a proud sponsor of the TrueNorth Cultural Arts Theatre season.
