Rumors

Set the night of a ten-year anniversary party, a couple arrives to find their
host with a bullet in his head (through his earlobe, thankfully) and their hostess missing. Struggling to make sense of the situation, we know it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. As other guests arrive, the couple attempts to keep the secret, invariably blowing it, swearing everyone who walks through the front door to keep the secret as well. The humor of the first act relies mostly on who knows what when, who’s going to find out
what next, and how. Act two begins with everyone in on the secret, but the introduction of police causes the partygoers to cover their tracks with new tracks and, in typical Neil Simon style, tracks over those.
