After Brighton Beach Memoirs , Biloxi Blues sits as the middle chapter of Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy. Much like its predecessor and the final part of the series, Broadway Bround , Biloxi Blues has the trademark Simon wit, yet of all his plays is arguably the most tragic.

It continues the story of Eugene, enlisted in the army to go and fight in WWII, has three wishes: to lose his virginity, to fall in love, and to become a writer. As we follow his journey through the highs and lows of Boot Camp, there is joy in his achievements, there is tragedy in his experiences.
