Bart Players

Bart Players are delighted to announce Neil Simon’s hilarious farce Rumours as their 2016 Festival play.

This riotously funny farce centres round the efforts of eight party guests to spare their unfortunate host, and themselves, from scandal. Ken and Chris have found their host Charley, a government minister, in his bedroom too dazed to speak, with a bullet wound in his ear lobe.

They start to weave a tissue of lies that are more and more fantastic to cover up the scandalous events. Things take a turn for the hilarious with the gradual arrival of the other guests and eventually the police.

Rumours is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Ltd.
