Plaza Suite by Neil Simon (1996): Norma Hubley


Plaza Suite by Neil Simon

5 Men, 6 Women

Author of: See the article on Neil Simon

The comedy consists of three separate plays all occurring in the same hotel suite.

In the first play, 'Visitor from Mamaroneck', a middle-aged couple re-visit the hotel room of their honeymoon - but the arrangement does not end as romantically as might have been expected.

'Visitor from Hollywood' recounts the meeting of two old flames and what can happen under the influence of repeating magic Hollywood names.

In the last play, 'Visitor from Forest Hills', a mother and father are driven frantic by their daughter who has locked herself in the bathroom and refuses to come out for her wedding, with all the guests and preparations already waiting. The problem is solved by the entry of the groom who addresses his bride through the door with two words only.

Mother and father will never bridge the generation gap.
