"Rumors": Neil Simon's Farcical Comedy Fave

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Neil Simon's truly timeless farce finds a trio of affluent couples arriving at an upper-crust Manhattan party to discover that their host, who happens to be the Deputy Mayor of New York, has accidentally shot himself. Though the wound itself is minor, the situation causes a major commotion as the gathered go to elaborate and zany lengths to protect his reputation and keep the police and press from finding out the truth, resulting in a hilariously tightening web of deceit. Plano's Art Centre Theatre stages the latest production of this classic comedy.
