Rumors : A Farce

Rating:
Summary: One of the funniest plays ever!
Review: As an actor, I've been in many plays (comedies especially), and I can honestly say that this is one of the funniest plays I have ever seen (or performed...). The great thing about this one is it NEVER gets old. You can watch it four nights in a row, listen to the jokes over and over again (both of which were done), and it stays funny, and entertaining! An incredible masterpiece by Neil Simon. Filled with one-liners, insanity, funny personalities and character traits, sarcastic comments, visual gags, and all other types of comedy you can think of, this one does not stop entertaining!

Summary: Hilarious and well written
Review: Comedy is difficult to write, especially a play. Comedic plays (especially farces) must move quickly, or the audience is lost. Humor can get very stale if the situations do not change dramatically. Neil Simon said that Rumors was the hardest play he had to write because every line had to further the plot. I had the privilege of acting in this play, and I say with all sincerity that there is never a dull moment in this play. It is hilarious, with absolutely no redeeming social value. In an age where plays and movies must either be stupid comedies with outlandish plot twists and completely unbelievable characters or have dark humor with a depressing hidden message, it is nice to see a well written, straight forward farce where the jokes never get old, no matter how many times you see it and it is very easy to lose yourself completely when either watching it or acting in it. In Rumors, Neil Simon has written a gem of a play.

Summary: Rumor has it...
Review: I enjoyed this play when I saw it performed live. I was extremely skeptical before, but there are many parts that I laughed the hardest I ever have. It is not perfect, but if you can see it live, go do it.
