London Suite

20 June - 5 July

By Neil Simon

Directed By: Brynna Kumar, Carolyn Loader, Richard Martin & Carleen Craig

A posh London hotel plays host to a number of different guests who find themselves in a series of different comic scenarios. There’s the inebriated Welsh writer who holds his long time business manager at gunpoint when he discovers that the manager has been stealing from him. There’s an American widow and her daughter who have traveled to England for the sites and the shopping, when the mother receives an invitation to spend her last evening in London on a whirlwind date with a wealthy Scotsman. Fans of Simon's California Suite will be delighted to catch up with Oscar-winning actress Diana, who is reconnecting with her bisexual ex-husband Sidney, who has come to ask Diana for a favor. And finally there's a fast-paced physical comedy about a married couple from New York who have lost their tickets to Wimbledon and are about to lose their suite to actor Kevin Costner who absolutely must have it now. Each scene will be helmed by one of the Dolphin's aspiring new directors, so come see what the next generation of Dolphin talent brings to the table!

ABOUT THE PLAY

A Sci-fi romance set 150 years in the future, simultaneously on Earth and Mars, Philip Braithwaite’s The Atom Room focuses on the extreme long-distance relationship between Sarah and Danny.

On an Earth wrecked through climate change, nuclear accidents and other environmental disasters, Sarah secures a dream job on mankind’s latest great achievement, a colony on Mars. Her decision however forces her to leave her partner Danny behind on Earth for the length of her contract. Despite the distance however, the couple still can connect through a highly-advanced virtual reality system that rivals real life itself known as The Atom Room.

The Atom Room explores many aspects of a long-distance relationship, work-life pressures and technology’s influence on the world and its people showing that even 150 years in the future, people are still people.
