RUMORS Comes to Garland Civic Theatre
Neil Simon's RUMORS to feature at The Small Theatre, directed by Eddy Herring
Garland Civic Theatre will present Rumors, directed by Eddy Herring. Written by Neil Simon, Rumors begins as Chris and Ken Gorman arrive at a fancy dinner party for their friend, Charley Brock. They discover that all is not well, and that Charley has had an accident involving a shotgun and his earlobe. This could be damaging to Charley's reputation, as he is deputy mayor of New York City.
Chris and Ken's friends begin to arrive. As they attempt to cover up the facts, hilarity ensues. Neil Simon's Rumors is a charming farce with lots of gags, twists, zingers, and zanies, but it also borrows from Simon's life experience to depict the challenges, as well as the comforts, of married life. The play contains strong adult language and mature content themes, including smoking, drinking, self-harm, innuendos, and plays-on-words.
