Rumors

Rumors by Neil Simon is a farce about distinguished guests who arrive at a dinner party where the host, Charlie, has a bullet hole in his ear and his wife, Myra, is nowhere to be found. As the couples arrive they try to figure out what has happened, and then the cops show up. One of the guests, Lenny, pretends to be Charlie, and comes up with a ludicrous explanation for the gunshot that was heard on the spot. (Click here to watch Lenny's monologue). The play is entirely chaotic and ridiculous, which is why I love it.
