Georges Feydeau

This farcical comedy set in 1910 is a translation by Michael Pilch of Georges Feydeau's Feu la Mere de Madame . Things go seriously wrong when Lucien arrives home from a ball in the early hours of the morning dressed as Louis XIV. His late arrival and his enraptured account of the ball invites the wrath of Yvonne, his wife, which is heightened when he unwittingly makes disparaging remarks about her figure. The maid, Annette, is dragged from her bed to witness his discomfiture and the angry scene which follows.2 women, 2 men
