Description:

Neil Simon's classic comedy about young newlyweds Corrie and Pail adjusting to married life--and to each other--in a six-story Manhattan walkup. Paul is a strait-laced attorney and Corrie a far more spontaneous free spirit. The two must content with a lack of heat, a skylight with a gaping hold, eccentric neighbors, and adjusting to married life. Mr. Simon's 1963 masterpiece, his first Broadway smash, was a valentine to his wife Joan and to the joyful tribulations of being young, untried and uninhibited in the big city.

Two just-married Venetian gondoliers are informed by the Grand Inquisitor that one of them has just become the King of "Barataria", but only their foster mother, presently at large, knows which one. As Barataria needs a king to put down unrest in the country, they travel there to reign jointly, leaving their wives behind in Venice until the old lady can be interviewed. it turns out that the kind was wed in infancy to the beautiful daughter of the Spanish Duke of Plaza Toro, and so it seems he is an unintentional bigamist.

Michael, an American professor, has been taken hostage in Beirut. Back in the States, his wife Lanie awaits word of his fate. Michael is being held and tortured in a small room by Shi'ite Muslims. Laine imposes her own form of self-inflicted torture in a second room, stripped of furnishings, that was once Michael's den. Two Rooms is playwright Lee Blessings's tale of one man's captivity and the roller-coaster ride of hope and frustration his wife endures half a world away.
