Overview

Synopsis

Relationships of all kinds are put to the test in a London hotel suite. Similar in style and structure to Simon’s Plaza Suite, London Suite comprises four individual scenes with four different sets of people experiencing the highs and lows of life. There’s Brian, who has discovered his friend Billy trying to escape to Argentina with his entire fortune; Lauren, who sets her mother Sheryl up on a date with hilariously bad results; Diana, whose ex-husband Sidney has a poignant request; and Mark, who came to see Wimbledon with his wife Annie but is now stuck on the floor with a thrown-out back and lost tickets. London Suite is a lighthearted ensemble comedy with poignant moments capturing the tapestry of human relationships.
