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.

"Hotel" is a play that is written by Caryl Churchill.
I would say that it is one of those plays you have to see live, simply to capture the essence of it. There were so many different elements in this, but at times, it was very confusing because the text and dialogue would not reveal anything. You simply have to visual everything, and even better; see it in a theatrical setting. I haven't read many dramatical works, but I'm still quite fascinated by it. I've mostly been reading works by Samuel Beckett and playwrights by Oscar Wilde. It's all quite new to me. While I can easily put the others into categories and work them out in my mind, this simply doesn't make sense to me.
Will I still have a shadow?
Will I still have a mind?
Wind blow through
Will invisible eyes still see?
Although, it was only 40 pages long, there were several elements of it that I really liked. The language was beautiful and very inspiring at times; deep, dark and full of symbolism. Another matter I enjoyed was the fact that everything happens over two nights; and the fact that no one really knows what is going on. I am sure that none of the characters in the 8 rooms have experienced the exact same nights, even though they were staying in the same hotel.
In the darkness, everything will not be revealed. The bad will not be seen and the good will be hidden in the shades. Who knows, maybe the characters know as little as the reader looking down on the pages?
Who will leave the hotel in the morning and still be their selves? Who would have managed to figure everything out?
In a room anything can happen...
