In every relationship comes a stage that is perhaps best addressed on the stage.u00a0 All your life, you've felt like the perfect couple; until, of course, the nuptial vows happened. Ever since, you've wanted to run away, find yourself again and lose that feeling of being bound. Though we all go through this phase some time or the other, it comes as a shock when it does, flinging hopes, expectations and plans in the air.
Once we get what we want, we want what we don't have. It's this tendency that a new production is playing up, with an aim to guide you back on track.

A comic satire, the performance is set in Suite 719 of the Plaza Hotel in New Delhi. Presented by Dionysius Productions, it is an adaptation and combination of two plays Plaza Suite and Last of the Red Hot Lovers written by the brilliantly witty American playwright Neil Simon.
In the three-act play, stories of three different couples will be narrated one after another.
"There's pace, because all of them are wrapped up in just one hour and 20 minutes," assures Ankita Mahabir, who has co-directed the play with Rananjay Singh Bhandari. Pick what suits your situation the best, and we bet you'll find a solution in there.

Meet Marvin
Born on July 4, 1927, American playwright and screenwriter Marvin Neil Simon's plays have been widely performed throughout the world. Though he's a comic writer, two of his works Eugene Trilogy and The Sunshine Boys take a serious note of 20th century Jewish-American experiences.u00a0
