ELDDFS Presents: RUMOURS by Neil Simon
May 13th, 2011 by CCA PRO
Neil Simon’s hilarious farce puts four upper crust couples through an evening of utter chaos as they scramble to save themselves from scandal. It is the tenth wedding anniversary of Charley and Vivian Brooks, but when their friends turn up at their house expecting a party, they find the hostess missing and the host, a prominent government official, lying upstairs bleeding from a flesh wound. The guests try to conceal from each new arrival – and the police! – what has happened, creating an ever more precarious tower of lies.

I do love the way you have presented this specific situation and it does present me a lot of fodder for thought. Anyway, thank you for this outstanding point.
