Product Description

Product Description

Full Length, Comedy

Characters: 2 male, 3 female

Interior set

Neil Simon at his most humane, compassionate best.

It's a humorous confection 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, the question being with whom should their daughter spend the next six months? The badinage 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 as Academy Award nominee. Diana returns from the ceremony empty-handed to husband Sidney whose homosexuality will be no comfort tonight...

The Visitors from Chicago are two couples ending a disastrous vacation they should not have shared.

california Suite 3 Jun 2011
By Susie
Format:Paperback
Brilliant read. Witty and verbose but with pathos - what more can you want from a superb writer. You laugh,you cry, you smile
I hope it's equally funny performed.

A Neil Simon comedy classic! 11 Jun 2000
By Arkaan Semere - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Comparable to his later success, Biloxi Blues and Lost in Yonkers, California Suite is a set of four playlets set in one hotel room. They feature A- A divorced couple meeting to decide on their daughter's future

B- A man with a hooker in his room tries to hide her when his wife comes

C- A neurotic actress and her homosexual husband come to town for the Oscars

D- Four friends really get to know what it's liked going on vacation together.

The first and third are the best, because they combine wit and emotion. The other two are hilarious, but somewhat hollow. Overall, it is worth reading, and certainly ranks as one of Simons best in the past 25 years.

Trice's Review 16 Sep 2002
By Trice - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I believe that California Suite is one of the funniest plays that i have ever read. I am fairly new to Neil Simon, but I have enjoyed everything that I have read from him so far.
