Synopsis

Roomersis about a small space filled with an alarming number of mostly alarming people ...Roomersis a play in which madness rules with no hint of underlying black comedy or horror. In short¸Roomersis fun. The people of this comedy are fresh¸ creative and unpredictable. From the avaricious landlady who rents the pantry as a bedroom—so what if the bed has to be leaned against the wall—to the man on the roof trying to develop homing vultures¸ this is a rooming house filled with a wild assortment of characters. Each has his own problems¸ most of them weird and unsolvable¸ and the plot is involved with trying to solve them.
