The Castle Craig Players are launching their 30th season with Neil Simon’s hilarious comedy CALIFORNIA SUITE, running October 14-23 at the group’s intimate Meriden venue.
Neil Simon’s 1976 comedy involves four sets of people who occupy a suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel: Divorced parents of a teenage daughter who try to plan the girl’s immediate future; a man who tries to conceal a sleeping call girl from his wife; a British film actress and her devoted but semi-closeted husband who are in town for the Academy Awards; and two vacationing couples who bicker and are remarkably accident-prone.
The Castle Craig Players will continue their 30th Anniversary Season with Every Christmas Story Ever Told... (and then some!), running December 2-11 at their intimate Meriden venue.
On Saturday, October 15, 2022, I had the pleasure of seeing Neil Simon’s CALIFORNIA SUITE as performed by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. CALIFORNIA SUITE is different from a typical Neil Simon play in that rather than being one continuous story, it is four separate playlets that have three things in common: location, location, and location. Some audience members may be familiar with this concept in that it was used in A.R. Gurney’s The Dining Room. In CALIFORNIA SUITE, the location is not a dining room, but in Suite 203 & 204 in the Beverly Hills Hotel, a hotel that incidentally has lousy room service, but an entertaining cleaning staff.
