Synopsis
Set in the 1980's, Rumors is a riotous comedy by Neil Simon that takes place during an elegant dinner

party hosted by New York's Deputy Mayor. When the guests arrive, they discover a gunshot wound

and a missing spouse, setting off a chain of mistaken identities, cover-ups, and outrageous rumors. With Simon's signature wit and comedic timing, the play delves into the absurdity of human foibles and

the lengths people go to save face.
