A 1968 Neil Simon play brought to life by Ireland's Rough Magic theater group at the Pavillion Theatre in Dún Laoghaire.
I'd never seen this play before and found it to be quite contemporary and very funny.
Basically three one-acts, each story is set in Room 719 of New York's Plaza Hotel.
The first story concerns a wife trying to put a spark back in her marriage by bringing her husband to this, which was their honeymoon suite more than two decades before. The night doesn't end so well as her suspicions are confirmed regarding her husband's liaisons with his secretary.
The second one-act centers on a successful Hollywood producer who is in town and has intentions of seducing a star struck classmate from high school that he once had a crush on years ago.
And finally, the slapstick finale, occurs when a husband and wife try to cajole their soon to be married daughter out of the bathroom that she's locked herself into.
The seasoned actors were, in general, all excellent and there was not an empty seat in the house full of laughter and joy...
