Hospitality Suite Reviews

Around The Town Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...Directed by Cody Estle on a wonderful set ( very Holday Inn'ish) by Sean McIntosh, with the exception of a few misplaced backs to the audience, the play moves well. The costumes (Sarah Jo White) and lighting (Ethan Vail) along with the props ( and there are tons of those) by Alberto Ruiz all add to the story. I for one, was caught in the characters, but the ending, for me was very quick and abrupt and left me wondering what really happened? Who made the phone call to the "Hospitality Suite" and what did Phil mean when he said what he said?"

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...Sean McIntosh surprisingly and delightfully repurposes the tiny Citadel stage to create, down to the finest details, a recognizable hotel room. Roger Rueff's riff on Mamet's "Glengarry, Glen Ross" and Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," sets his play in the highly competitive world of sales. Also echoing Sartre's "No Exit," reminding us that "Hell is other people," this character-driven comic drama plays out in a claustrophobic hotel suite. As Larry and Phil wait to snare The Big Kahuna, the sale that will propel their company to top dog status in the business world, we learn first-hand what makes us really tick."
