Gene Saks is an actor who appeared in the film A Thousand Clowns. A Thousand Clowns is a 1965 film which tells the story of a young boy who lives with his eccentric uncle, who is forced to conform to society in order to keep custody of the boy.
More specifically, Saks is the man who directed the Broadway version of Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues," the second New Court production of the summer opening next Thursday, July 6th.
Like Saks, Burton appreciates the brilliance of Simon, who with "Broadway Bound" earned a place in theatrical history as the most prolific playwright of the 20th century.
Burton, oddly enough, was in one of the Neil Simon plays Saks did not direct, "The Sunshine Boys." But this speaks to a shared love of what Simon can bring to audiences, insight and understanding with laughter.
