Neil Simon
This hilarious series of vignettes, all set in the same suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, is Neil Simon at his uproarious, compassionate best. The play is divided into four parts:
In Visitor from New York, magazine writer Hannah and her ex-husband argue over which of them should take in their daughter for the next six months. The banter flies fast and furious, but Hannah’s well-wrought artifice crumbles as her fears take hold.
The Visitor from Philadelphia is a wife who arrives at the suite, catching her husband “en flagrante delicto” with a drunken prostitute.
In Visitors from London, Academy Award nominee Diana returns from the ceremony empty-handed – and her gay husband, Sidney, provides no comfort.
The Visitors from Chicago are two couples ending a disastrous vacation they should not have shared.
