RUMORS

By Neil Simon

DCP is proud to support this project from Matt Merrell Productions. Matt, our former Executive Director, continues a tradition of classic comedies in the Duke Family Performance Hall in July.

At a large, tastefully-appointed townhouse in the Manhattan suburbs, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it's only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock's self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce.

As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room while his wife is nowhere in sight. The first guests scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.
