Dodi & Diana — Mosaic Theatre

Dodi & Diana

Two couples. One hotel room. Twenty-five years apart.

August, 2022, l’Hôtel Ritz Paris: Jason and Samira are staying at the same hotel where Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed spent some of their last moments alive. Believing themselves to be the “astrological doubles” of Diana and Dodi, the couple lock themselves in their hotel room awaiting “the convergence:” the 25th anniversary of the car crash that shocked the world. Over three manic days, Jason and Samira unearth an uncanny connection to the star-crossed lovers that will alter the trajectory of their marriage.
