The Star-Spangled Girl
by Neil Simon

Andy and Norman are two earnest young men using their apartment as a publishing office for a “protest” magazine in San Francisco.

Sophie, an Olympic swimmer and all-American girl, moves into another apartment on the same floor.

Sophie makes her first appearance paying a good-neighbor visit to the combination home and office of the two publishers.

Her friendliness and charm leave Norman hopelessly smitten.

Meanwhile, his partner is fielding telephone calls from the irate printer who wants to collect the money due him, and distracting the landlady from thoughts of back rent with motorcycle rides and surfing expeditions.

And while she is convinced that they are editing a dangerously subversive magazine, Sophie soon finds that her real source of annoyance is that the wrong man is pressing his attentions on her.

Happily this situation is reversed in time, as love and politics blend delightfully in a bubbling series of funny happenings, set forth with the masterly skill and inventiveness of Neil Simon.
