In 1942 Brooklyn, two teenage brothers, Jay and Arty, come to live with their stern grandmother and “crazy” Aunt Bella. Bella has an unbridled zest for life, along with the mind of a child. But what she longs for most is love and independence, despite her strict mother’s objections. During their time in Yonkers, Jay and Arty witness Bella’s emotive transformation, meet their exciting gangster of an uncle, Louie, and try to survive nine months under Grandma’s watchful eye. Filled with Simon’s gifted touch of witty dialogue and heartfelt emotion, get Lost in Yonkers this August at the Historic Royal Theatre.
