About the author

Marvin Neil Simon (July 04, 1927 - August 26, 2018) was an American playwright and screenwriter.

He wrote more than 30 plays and he received more combined Oscar and Tony nominations than any other writer. Simon was one of the most reliable hitmakers in Broadway history, as well as one of the most performed playwrights in the world.
Though primarily a comic writer, some of his plays, particularly the Eugene Trilogy and The Sunshine Boys, reflect on the twentieth century Jewish-American experience.

Reviews

[Shayan Foroozesh]

A collection of four short plays, "in media res" kinda narrative, which all happen in the same hotel suite. a quick fun read.

[Brian McCann]

Better than I remember it. Simon sure can construct textbook farce.

[Nacho Navarrete]

Son tres escenas para un actor y una actriz (cada una haciendo tres personajes) todas transcurriendo en la misma pieza de un hotel. Las dos primeras escenas se sienten muy anticuadas pero la tercera es muy chistosa.

[Scripturiently Swag The Dragon-Hearted]

Decent, but definitely no "Brighton Beach Memoirs".

Neil Simon goes back to the "Suite" well for the third time, and it's not up to the level of the previous two (Plaza Suite and California Suite). The dialogue, for which Simon is justly famous, is reasonably crisp and clever, but as far as a reading experience goes, you're likely to be disappointed. There are four scenes in all, each set in the same London hotel suite. They're unrelated to one another, and therein may be part of the problem: There isn't anything unifying about the scenes except the setting, and it robs the play of having much to say. From a potential production standpoint, a really good cast could make an entertaining evening of it. This, I will hopefully prove out, as I'm slated to do this play later this year.

This play was a little dissapointing. I was hoping it would be great comedy from what i heard about him. This play took place in the same suite, that is the only thing in common with each scene. There are four different scenarios that occur. None of them have anthing to do with the other. His imagination is what was positive to me. It is very out there in a few scenes. My feelings were mixed throughout the play. I was confused, depressed, and happy all in one scene. After going back over all of my notes, I began to understand some of it. The lesson I learned was to not make any assumptions and get mad at someone for nothing they did.
