Neil Simon, perhaps the world’s most successful playwright, was known as the Master of Comedy on Broadway. Simon wrote some of the most beloved shows in American history, including “The Odd Couple” (done by PACP in 2016), “Barefoot In The Park” (done by PACP in 2019), and “The Out-Of-Towners”. “Rumors”, was among Simon’s later works, written in 1988, and was his first farce.

The Deputy Mayor of New York, Charlie Brock, has just shot himself. Though it's only a flesh wound, the self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce. When their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusion and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.
