In this absurdist comedy two lovers - a playwright and his lead
actress - escape to a discreet and charming Parisian hotel, conjured
from a desert landscape. As the walls, door and crimson curtains of
Room 322 materialise around them, a fumbling of fastenings ensues. But
they soon discover they're not the only couple intent on escaping from
reality. . .
The Crimson Hotel has its world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse Theatre, London, on 25 July 2007.
The volume also features the one-act play, Audience, a delightful send-up which holds up a mirror to the outlandish behaviour and comedy inherent in every theatre audience.
