It’s been said of sex (and by comparison, pizza,) that even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good. The same may be said of your typical Neil Simon comedy (“The Star-Spangled Girl” anyone?). Of course, when it’s good, it’s the stuff of Tony Awards and surefire packed houses in little theaters o’er the land, like Spotlighters in downtown Baltimore.
Directors Bob Russell and Ivan Lawson have done a superlative job in bringing Simon’s “London Suite” to Spotlighters’ diminutive stage (now featuring all-new cushioned seats). The third in Simon’s comic “Suite” series, following “Plaza Suite” (1968) and “California Suite” (1976), this excellent 1995 installment features four one-act plays, each taking place in the same room at London’s Connaught Hotel overlooking Hyde Park.
