Trice's Review

I believe that California Suite is one of the funniest plays that i have ever read. I am fairly new to Neil Simon, but I have enjoyed everything that I have read from him so far.

A Neil Simon comedy classic!

Comparable to his later success, Biloxi Blues and Lost in Yonkers, California Suite is a set of four playlets set in one hotel room. They feature A- A divorced couple meeting to decide on their daughter's futureB- A man with a hooker in his room tries to hide her when his wife comesC- A neurotic actress and her homosexual husband come to town for the OscarsD- Four friends really get to know what it's liked going on vacation together. The first and third are the best, because they combine wit and emotion. The other two are hilarious, but somewhat hollow. Overall, it is worth reading, and certainly ranks as one of Simons best in the past 25 years.
