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. The play formed the first act of the full-length play LOOK LOOK
