New York City
The host has injured himself, his wife is missing and four couples are about to experience a severe attack of farce. As the rumors escalate, so do the laughs.

Rumors, widely considered Neil Simon’s funniest play, follows one hilarious evening of cover-ups, confusions and miscommunications.
