<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A new piece, commissioned by the innovative music/dance/theatre group <i>Second Stride</i>, which shows eighteen characters simultaneously experiencing one night in the same hotel.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Hotel is in two parts. In the first, Eight Rooms, fourteen people - tourists, couples, business people - spend an ordinary night in a hotel. But they all occupy the same space, and their stories overlap and interweave, creating an exhilarating collage of words, voices, music and choreographed movement. In the second part, a dance piece, we see two nights happening at the same time. Two people find different ways to disappear, while a diary found in the hotel room tells of another extraordinary disappearance. With words by Caryl Churchill, music by Orlando Gough and direction/movement by Ian Spink, Hotel was premiered by Second Stride, who have pioneered a unique brand of performed event. This volume contains Churchill's witty libretto, plus articles on the making of Hotel.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>CARYL CHURCHILL's plays include Cloud Nine (revived in 2007 to huge acclaim at the Almeida, London), Top Girls, Serious Money, The Skriker, Blue Heart, Far Away and A Number.
