In this suite… No relationship is safe
Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today?
This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for.
The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, “I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!”
We’ve had “nice talking,” now we’re gonna have “door breaking.”
Plaza Suite Survives Some Crazy Weather
Neil Simon always has and always will crop up when it’s time to talk about shows that should be done for a season. In 2015 it was high time to get a Neil Simon classic play in the BFCT stable of shows. This show was a great one to tackle with its unique structure of almost three one-acts tied together by location. It was a production that went by very quickly and very smoothly until it was time to put on the show for our patrons because we had some of that crazy South Dakota weather and in between acts there was a tornado warning that caused everyone to go wait in the hallway. Luckily our cast and crew was able to entertain everyone until the all clear was given and the show continued, because the show must go on!
