CONCORD — Gilford actors Ursula Minich Boutwell and Matt McGonagle are part of the cast in the Community Players of Concord production of Neil Simon's 'The Odd Couple – The Female Version.' Boutwell will reprise her role as Olive, and McGonagle will play half of the Costazuela brothers.
Â
Simon’s 1985 adaptation of his play about two friends who shouldn’t live together but decide to give it a try centers around Olive Madison, the easy-going, sloppy divorcee and Florence, her high-strung friend who she agrees to take in after her husband asks for a divorce. The pair regularly gather with four other friends to play Trivial Pursuit, while the amorous upstairs neighbors, the Costazuela brothers, keep the hilarity going.
