MADISON THEATRE COMPANY

RoAm Prodctions in association with Madison Theatre Company present the London Premiere of Neil Simon's Rumours directed by Rob Watt

With a backdrop of Thatcher's London, this riotously funny farce centres on the efforts of eight party guests to spare their unfortunate host, and themselves from scandal. It opens with Ken and Chris who have found their host Charley, a prominent Government official, in his bedroom, too dazed to speak, with a bullet wound in his ear lobe! His wife, Vivian, and domestic help are nowhere to be seen. Len and Claire arrive, themselves injured in a car crash, soon joined by Ernest and Cookie and Glenn and Cassie, each with their own problems. Following a second, accidental, gunshot that leaves Ken temporarily deaf, the police arrive and Len, drawing the short straw, pretends he is Charley. He concocts a fantastic explanation that in the end proves more credible than anyone dared hope.
