EDENBRIDGE PLAYERS

Set over four consecutive nights in the same slightly rundown hotel room, The Hotel Room is a warm, witty, and touching modern comedy that follows four different couples, each checking in for their own reasons – and each unknowingly connected to the others.​ As guests come and go, the ever‑present housekeeping staff provide a knowing and humorous backdrop, delighting in the gossip as they remake beds and prepare the room for its next occupants.

 

Each night brings a new story: an exhausted couple on their first night away from infant twins; a pair stopping over before embarking on a glamorous cruise; and a young couple experiencing their very first hotel stay together, with all the excitement and reality that brings.

​

The final night offers a beautifully poignant turn, as an

elderly couple return to the hotel 50 years after their

honeymoon, the wife hoping the familiar surroundings

might rekindle memories for her husband, who is living

with dementia.

​​​​​

This sparkling new comedy is directed by one of the Players’ most experienced and accomplished directors, Caroline Newman, whose most recent success was The Lady Vanishes. Her assured hand brings pace, warmth, and precision to this engaging production.

​

​The set is designed by Andrew Dore, whose previous work for the Edenbridge Players includes The Lady Vanishes, Abigail’s Party, Carfax Asylum and Gaslight  — creating the perfect backdrop for this richly entertaining story.

​

By turns funny, heartfelt, and sharply observed, The Hotel Room explores love, memory, and human connection — all seen through the doorway of one unforgettable room.
