Eugene Trilogy

Eugene Trilogy

The Eugene Trilogy refers to three plays written by Neil Simon: the first being "Brighton Beach Memoirs", the second is "Biloxi Blues", and the third being "Broadway Bound". The trilogy tells the story of Eugene Jerome from his adolescence in New York City, to his time spent in basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi during the last year of World War II, and finally to the beginning of his career as an aspiring comedy writer. The trilogy is a semi-autobiographical account of Simon's own early life and career.

"Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Biloxi Blues" were made into films, while "Broadway Bound" was adapted as a made-for-TV movie. On screen the role of Eugene Jerome was played by Jonathan Silverman in Brighton Beach Memoirs, Matthew Broderick assumed the role in Biloxi Blues (and played Eugene in the Broadway incarnations of both "Brighton Beach" and "Biloxi Blues"), and Corey Parker did the honors in "Broadway Bound".
