The comical‚ semi-autobiographical and prejudicial play written by Neil Simon‚ Biloxi Blues‚ captured my attention years ago. This play was actually the sequel to Simon’s‚ Brighton Beach Memoirs‚ however‚ it isn’t necessary to have seen or read the first of the sequel‚ but the play does pick up or continue with the main character and others heading to boot camp.

He himself admits that there is no particular truth but
