Simon has given us four playlets telling the stories of the different people who have stayed in the Suite 203-04. There are visitors from four cities – New York, Philadelphia, London and Chicago – and all with a story to tell in Simon style!
There is a divorced couple quarreling over their daughter’s life; a businessman who wakes up to find a prostitute in his bed moments before his wife arrives; and a British couple with a marriage of convenience and lot of anxiety! Then there are two affluent couples who are best friends taking a much-needed vacation together. Until it is not such a good idea!
A perfect mix of Simon’s humor. He adapted his play a 1978 feature film of the same name directed by Herbert Ross.
