London Suite by Neil Simon (September 2004) Review


London Suite by Neil Simon

6 men, 6 women.

Author of: screenplays: Murder by Death,The Cheap Detective,Seems Like Old Times,The Lonely Guy,The Odd Couple II,The Goodbye Girl etc.

The third of Neil Simon's Suite Trilogies, London Suite offers four stories, each played out in suite 402 of a hotel in, well, London.
Brian and Billy discuss potentially felonious business dealings on opposite sides of a gun.

Lauren sets up a date for her widowed mother with an allergy-ridden Scotsman.

Sidney and Diana (of California Suite) play out another chapter in their complex relationship.

Mark and Annie's misplaced Wimbledon tickets are the least of their worries as a Scottish hotel manager, a shady hotel employee, and an Irish physician lend more angst than aid.

Very much in the tradition of his earlier plays, Plaza Suite and California Suite, the playlets combine drama and comedy laced with Neil Simon's classic wit and sharp dialogue.
