Written by Neil Simon, The Sunshine Boys is a stage production that tells the story of a long-time comedy duo known as Lewis and Clark. Over a forty-year career, Al Lewis hand Willie Clark grew to hate each other and eventually stopped speaking off-stage during the final year of their vaudevillian act, with the stubborn and bitter Clark resenting the level-headed Lewis, who decided to leave show business and consequently end their act. Years later, the team is asked to reunite and represent the golden era of vaudeville for a television special on the history of comedy, and as the production team attempts to get the men to cooperate, The Sunshine Boys prove old grudges die hard, but sometimes to hilarious comedic effects.
