English drama

The Coimbatore Book Club Theatre Group has been doing its bit to popularise English Drama. And, now it brings a couple of Neil Simon plays to town. Plaza Suite consists of a duo of one-act plays set in Manhattan’s Plaza hotel in the 1970s. The first one-act play is Visitor from Mamaroneck that along with the banter and bitchiness of the much married, brings with it a certain poignancy of the story of a middle-aged couple.The second one-act play is Visitor from the Forest Hills that brings on the frustrations of parents confronted with their thankless offspring. In this play, according to a critic: “Simon takes a situation no bigger than a snowball and dislodges an avalanche of hilarity”.

Plaza Suite will be staged at the Nani Palkiwala Auditorium at Mani Higher Secondary School on Friday (August 1) at 6 p.m. Donor passes are priced at Rs.200 (for two), Rs. 120 (for individuals) and Rs. 50 for students.
