A Flea In Her Ear

by Georges Feydeau

performed by BTG May 1982

A Classic Farce

Raymonde suspects her husband, Victor, of infidelity and she turns to her best friend, Lucienne, to help her gain proof. They concoct a ploy-based on a perfumed letter-to trap him at the Hotel Coq der. In true Feydeau fashion the plan misfires; the plot is complicated by confused identities, revolving beds, a great many doors and the fact that the foolish hotel porter, Poche, is the exact double of Victor.
