What would you do if you walked in on your wife in the arms of another man?

This Hotel

By Alex Poch-Goldin

After Lester finds his wife in the arms of another man, he checks into This Hotel–where a shape-shifting bellhop escorts him on a whirlwind tour of long corridors and provocative rooms inhabited by the tenants of Lester’s subconscious. With a cast of slinky and colourful characters, This Hotel is hilarious, clever, and sexy–a moving journey to the centre of everyman.

Production History

This Hotel premiered in 1998 at the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse and received rave reviews during the Toronto Fringe Festival. The mainstage premiere was in 2001 at Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto where it was nominated for six Dora Awards including Outstanding New Play. His first big hit, it was subsequently produced in French by Théatre La Catapulte in Ottawa where it won the CBC/Le Droit prize for best French language production and remounted in 2016 at Talk Is Free Theatre in Barrie, Ontario.
