Storyline
New Year's Eve 1920 something Berlin...time is not temporal at Hotel Greene
Hotel Greene was built in 1905. It closely resembles the Hotel Savoy in Łódź ,Poland, that was the dream of Roman Skorko, a local entrepreneur who wanted to bring a world class hotel to his town. He was infatuated with British hotel names (Carlton,Savoy,Bristol) and the combination of luxury and solidity they conferred. To that end Hotel Greene was born. No expense was spared in Skorko’s design; Persian carpets, crystal chandeliers, Moroccan tiles and a smart lobby bar in the latest fashion. He went broke and skipped town just prior to his grand opening. Rumor has it that eventually he made it to America and, ever the visionary, recognizing the emergence of car culture made himself rich with a chain of modestly priced motels with adjacent mini golf courses. A local consortium bought Hotel Greene and ran it ( fairly indifferently) until it was taken over in the German occupation. Hotel Greene’s glory years were the 1920’s and 30’s. It played host to foreign dignitaries, artists, actors, spies and saboteurs. Anastasia Romanova was rumored to have stayed several months incognito. On Sept 1, 1939 the Germans invaded. That day the promising young writer, Witold Krull, left a cigarette burning in his room (#208), climbed to the rooftop of Hotel Greene and threw himself off in protest. Soon Hotel Greene became a stylish venue for the lodging and offices of the local Nazi party. After the war it became a hospital and then a mental institution. It was demolished in 1973.
SEEKING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
GHOSTLY notes to consider...all lives are a series of chance encounters. It is 1920 something and fate has brought you to Hotel Greene. Each of you, at one time, thought your time at the hotel would be temporary. Time passes, habits form and the thought of escape becomes less and less real. Ghosts are to be pitied, yet they are cooler than us. They are displaced and must constantly improvise their live to survive. They are sad, serious, anxious and stuck. Ghosts, while interacting with the customers of Hotel Greene Mini Golf are puzzling, enigmatic or obvious, whatever the interaction lends to. Snippets of your interactions might be recorded and played back in the Hotel Bar.
