Little Theatre

Farce

Georges Feydeau and Maurice Desvallieres, Translated by John Mortimer.

10 m., 3 f., 4 girls, extras.

The translator of a popular version of Feydeau's A Flea in Her Ear scored another success with this acclaimed farce at the National Theatre of Great Britain. More slam bang experiences in mistaken identities and sexual peccadillos, this hilarious story begins with M. Pinglet's efforts to have a fling with Mme. Paillardin, who is terminally bored with her husband. The lovers book a room in a very out of the way hotel which quickly becomes a destination for practically everyone they know. The hotel is raided by the police and they all end up in the hoosegow in a hilarious finish to a mad romp.

FEE: $75 per performance.
