RUMORS
A play by Neil Simon
Directed by Eleni Fragopoulos
The truth? Nobody knows. But everyone’s talking. Get ready for a night of chaos, confusion, and comedy in Neil Simon’s uproarious farce, Rumors, where one little secret spirals into a storm of side-splitting lies!
It all begins when four high-society couples arrive at the Deputy Mayor of New York’s 10th wedding anniversary party… only to find the host shot in the ear, the hostess missing, and the servants gone. To protect their reputations (and their sanity), the guests start spinning wild stories and before long, the cover-up becomes more outrageous than the crime!
Doors slam, rumors fly, and hilarity explodes as every attempt to hide the truth only makes things worse.
With lightning-fast dialogue, madcap misunderstandings, and Neil Simon’s signature
wit, Rumors is a high-octane comedy of manners, marriage, and mischief that proves
one thing:
When the truth is messy, a good lie can be absolutely hysterical.
