Neil Simon's 'London Suite' at the Denver Victorian Playhouse
Opening on Friday, July 10 the Denver Victorian Playhouse presents Neil Simon's "London Suite." Performances run Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. & Sundays at 2 p.m. through August 29. Tickets are $22.00 and are available by calling 303-433-4343 or online at www.denvervic.com.
America's premier comic playwright Neil Simon returns to the award-winning format of his earlier successes Plaza Suite and California Suite with this collection of four playlets set in a deluxe London hotel - a sedate place until these characters check in.
In Settling Accounts, the suite is occupied by an inebriated Welsh writer who is holding his long time business manager, caught absconding with the writer's money, at gun point. The villain concocts increasingly farfetched explanations of what he was doing at Heathrow with the cash.
An American widow and her daughter, in England to buy shoes, take over the suite in Going Home. At the daughter's insistence, mother spends her last evening in London with a rich Scotsman.
Diana and Sidney explores another chapter in the lives of two characters from California Suite. Diana, the Oscar winning actress, and Sidney, her bisexual husband, are now divorced and are seeing each other for the first time in years. He needs money for his lover who is dying of cancer. The money is not a problem for Diana, but the realization that she still loves this man is.
The hotel guests in The Man on the Floor are a married couple from New York who have lost their tickets to Wimbledon and are about to lose their suite to Kevin Costner who absolutely must have it now.
The cast, under the direction of Robert Kramer, includes Brian Brooks, Josh Brown, Zach Cantor, Jan Cleveland, Dell Domnik, Darius Fatemi, Julie Hansen, Dana Hart, Boni McIntyre, Kellie Rae Rockey, Joe Wilson and Wade Wood.
"I would call London Suite a perfect play for people who don't THINK they would enjoy live theater."
