“The Odd Couple,” by Neil Simon, a live theater event produced by the Rangeley Friends of the Arts, will be presented at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 10,11 and 12.

This classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assemble for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

The Odd Couple was first presented on Broadway on March 10, 1965. It was directed by Mike Nichols.
