The Crimson Hotel And Audience
by Michael Frayn
What readers are saying
Readers find 'The Crimson Hotel' to be a fascinating and rare work by Frayn, particularly noting its unique narrative style. The play's limited availability and lack of widespread recognition add to its intrigue, as many appreciate discovering something so obscure. Overall, it stands out among Frayn's collection for its distinctiveness and depth.
Synopsis
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.
