THEATER
On Broadway
PLAZA SUITE proves once again that Neil Simon is a master mirthologist, as in two of three one-act plays he adroitly sketches a satire and broadly paints a farce. In the first play, Visitor from Mamaroneck, he achieves a new tone of rue as he depicts the poignant confrontation between a much-married duo. The professionalism of Director Mike Nichols and Actors George C. Scott and Maureen Stapleton matches that of the playwright.
