Upstage Berne presents Neil Simon's Plaza Suite

Hiya
I'm still on several Swiss mailing lists (and happy to be), so I can inform you today that if you're in Bern, Switzerland, in May, you could catch Neil Simon's play Plaza Suite at Theater am Kaefigturm.
It is presented by Upstage, Berne's English-language theatre group. Directed by Kendall Brazowski.
Upstage are a great little amateur theatre company who have been putting on English plays for at least fifteen years.
Here's the slightly adapted blurb from Upstage's invitation card:
Neil Simon's hilarious comedy follows three couples successively occupying Suite 719 at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
Karen Nash is desperately trying to revive the romance in her 23-year-old marriage to Sam, a trim, calorie-counting businessman. Jesse, a famous Hollywood producer, tries to rekindle old times with Muriel, a seemingly unspoiled wife and mother of three, 17 years after they last dated in high school.
Finally, Norma and husband Roy go into a mad panic when their daughter locks herself into the bathroom minutes before her hugely expensive wedding.
This will be an evening that will make you laugh, cry, sigh and mostly ... be glad it isn't happening to you.

Dates:
May 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 at 7:30pm; May 16 at 5pm.

Tickets from tel. +41 31 311 61 00, or click on the header to this post which contains a link to their website.
