This classic comedy by the renowned playwright, Neil Simon, revolves around a dinner party thrown for
the 10 th anniversary of Charley and Myra Brock at their home. Four couples show up to the party to find
the guests of honor are absent, no food has been prepared as the cook is visiting her mother in Japan,
and a mystery of what happened to the homeowners hangs in the air. Rumors begin to fly between the
couples as accusations of extramarital affairs and the camouflaging of incidents within the Brock home
are explained. A car accident prompts the arrival of two police officers and loose lips reveal that
something is amiss at the party. The unsuspecting cops are tricked into believing that one of the guests
is, in fact, Charley Brock, and the audience finally hears what really happened before the party started!
