Hailed Neil Simons best work, LOST IN YONKERS takes us into 1942 as young brothers Arty and Jay find themselves living with their stern Grandma Kurnitz, as their dad Eddie reluctantly deposits them on the fierce lady’s doorstep. The boys are left to contend with Grandma, with quirky Bella, their feisty and sweet, mentally challenged Aunt and with Louie, their small-time hoodlum Uncle in a strange new world called Yonkers.
