Description

California Suite is a humorous production divided into four parts: Visitor from New York, Visitor from Philadelphia, Visitors from London and Visitors from Chicago. In Visitor from New York, Hannah, a magazine writer is joined by her ex-husband to discuss the questions of with whom should their daughter spend the next six months? The vanter 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 hooker. Visitors from London brings a British star to the suite as an Academy Award nominee. Diana returns from the ceremony, empty-handed, to her husband Sidney, whose sexuality will be of little comfort tonight. The Visitors from Chicago are two couples ending a disastrous vacation they should not have shared. This is Neil Simon at his most humane, compassionate best combining humor and drama to create a wonderful evening of theatre.
