Farce / 5m, 4f, extras / Unit set
A normally sober doctor awakens to find that he brought two
things home from Maxim's last night: a hangover and a lady of the
evening. His wife is diverted from discovering the tart by one of
her famous visitations from a popular saint. The doctor's uncle
returns after a long army tour in Africa and promptly mistakes the
lady from Maxim's for his nephew's wife. Uncle's immediate business
is marrying off a niece to a young soldier who turns out to be the
true lover of the lady from Maxim's. Everybody is invited to the
ceremony at the uncle's chateau where all courses collide. The
master of bedroom farce unravels the confusion happily and
innocently. The New York production featured witty original songs
scored for piano which may be used at the producer's
discretion.

The action revolves around a flirt who refuses lovers so long
as her husband is faithful. A wild plot to entrap her stumblingly
husband in flagrante delicto becomes so frenetic that the seducers,
angry husbands, spying wives, innocent maids, pubescent bellboys
and police inspectors lose track of who's in bed with whom. "Sheer
delight." Dallas Downtown News.
Farce
Characters: 4 male, 6 female
Interior Set
Dr. Moulineaux has been out all night in a futile attempt to
meet his mistress Suzanne. He tells his wife he has been with
Bassinet who is near death, but in walks Bassinet. He decides it is
no longer wise to have Suzanne pretend to be a patient and rents an
apartment that formerly belonged to a dressmaker. He and Suzanne
are discovered in this hide away by her husband, so the doctor
poses as a dressmaker and is caught in a desperate entanglement
when his wife, his mother in law, Bassinet and Bassinet's wife
appear. Moulineaux's household is in an uproar but he manages to
lie his way out of it all with the help of Bassinet, who has a
photograph that seems to solve everything. This farce has
outstanding roles and is successful played as a 1900's period piece
or in a modern setting.
Full Length, Farce/ 5 m, 3 f, extras / 2 ints. Here is the
hilarious frolic that launched Feydeau in Paris as the Neil Simon
of his day. Take one philandering husband; add his virtuous wife
set on revenge, and a doctor determined to be her instrument of
revenge; mix well with the husband's friend who is eager to trap
his spouse in flagrante delicto and a young nephew with a cocotte
to round out his education; toss them together at 13 Rue de L'Amour
where a love starved German countess is the concierge; season with
a befuddled police inspector and a perky French maid. "The best
laid plans for vice and sin go wildly and wonderfully
astray."-Seattle Times "Very stuff of comedy whirled around with
happy dexterity."-NY Post "Classic farce... thoroughly worth
seeing."-NY Times "Indecently funny."-Time ROYALTY FEE: $75 per
performance.
