Here is some information about the run of the show - to be followed by some interviews with people involved with the production itself. They are heading into tech week, which means that tomorrow they load in to the Hannah Center and then will have 4 days to get used to a new space, which presents its challenges but also speaks to the talent of the cast and crew to put up a show in such a short amount of time in a different location.
Rick Dethlefsen is not only an accomplished actor, he's an amazing director who understands the subtleties of humor and how to direct something intended to be funny to actually be funny. It's really not as easy as you might think. Stay tuned for more information about "Rumors" and some insights, I hope, into Neil Simon.
"Rumors" at LCP (performed at the Hannah Center) opens September 12th.
by Neil Simon
Directed by Rick Dethlefsen
Performance Dates: September 12-14 & 19-21, 2008
Four couples are at the townhouse of a deputy New York City mayor and his wife to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. The party never begins because the host has shot himself in the head (it's only a flesh wound) and his wife is missing. His lawyer's cover up, gets progressively more difficult to sustain as the other guests arrive and nobody can remember who has been told what about whom. Doors slam and hilarity abounds as the couples get more and more crazed.
