Lost in Yonkers (1991), a play by Neil
Simon. [
Richard Rodgers Theatre, 780 perf.; Pulitzer Prize; Tony Award.] Widower Eddie Kurnitz ( Mark Blum) leaves his young sons Arty ( Danny Gerard) and Jay ( Jamie Marsh) in the care of his cold, ill‐tempered mother ( Irene
Worth) who runs a candy store in Yonkers. Grandma not only makes life miserable for the two boys but also verbally abuses her slightly retarded daughter Bella ( Mercedes Ruehl) and scoffs at her small‐time crook of a son, Louis ( Kevin
Spacey). Bella finally stands up to her mother and life continues on with an icy understanding between the two. Generally applauded by the press, the Emanuel
Azenberg production boasted superb performances ( Worth, Ruehl, and Spacey all won Tonys) and acute direction by Gene
Saks.
