PLAZA SUITE
by Neil Simon
Fri 8 – Sat 16 November 2013 at 7.45pm (not Sun 10)
Directed by Paul Campion
One of the greatest-ever Broadway comedies, ‘Plaza Suite’ consists of three ‘playlets’, all set in the same suite at New York’s Plaza Hotel.
- First occupants are Sam and Karen Nash, a middle-aged couple celebrating their wedding anniversary. Karen hopes the stay will rekindle their fading relationship. But Sam’s interest lies elsewhere…
- Then there’s Jesse Kiplinger, a successful Hollywood producer who entices his childhood sweetheart Muriel (now a suburban housewife) up to the suite, thinking she will be putty in his hands. But Muriel proves to be not quite what he expected…
- Finally we meet Roy and Norma Hubley who are celebrating their daughter’s wedding. There’s just one problem: the bride has locked herself in the bathroom and refuses to come out…
‘Plaza Suite’ is Neil Simon at his very best – hilarious, sparkling comedy with the sadness of failed relationships just beneath the surface.
Make your reservations as soon as possible!
