Book excerpt: Georges Feydeau, once considered as purveyor of slapstick farces, is now accepted as France’s best comic dramatist since Moliere. He once said that to make people laugh you have to place your cast in a dramatic situation and then observe them from a comic angle, but they must never do or say anything which is not strictly demanded, first by their character and secondly by the plot. Includes the plays Fitting for Ladies, A Close Shave and Sauce for the Goose. In Fitting for Ladies, a man on the look-out for a new romantic rendezvous is mistaken for a dressmaker... In A Close Shave, a woman's would-be lover has to assume the identity of her artist husband, who is about to be called up for military service. In Sauce for the Goose, a man discovers that the woman he is pursuing is the wife of an old friend...

Book Synopsis Four Farces by : Georges Feydeau

Download or read book Four Farces written by Georges Feydeau. This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild plots and quicksilver wit characterize the plays of Georges Feydeau. Called the greatest master of French comedy since Moliere by admirers such as Kenneth Tynan, Feydeau reflects the lusty tradition of the French bedroom farce as well as the tough exorbitant humor later to find full expression in the theater of the absurd. The plays offered in this volume represent the major stages of Feydeau's career. The one-act Wooed and Viewed was his first comedy, written in 1880. On the Marry-go-Wrong shows Feydeau on the way to becoming a master of mad imbroglio, a talent that he demonstrates in Not by Bed Alone. Going to Pot is a one-act play of conjugal strife of the emotional intensity that marked his work toward the end of his career.

Book Synopsis George Feydeau's A Flea in Her Ear by : Georges Feydeau

Download or read book George Feydeau's A Flea in Her Ear written by Georges Feydeau. This book was released on 1968. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feydeau's classic farce is the hilarious new force behind the growing appreciation of this delightful comedy form. It was a smash hit in Paris. "La logique absurde," as one critic called it, begins when Madame Chandebise decides to entrap her suspected husband by sending him a perfumed letter supposedly from a mysterious female admirer suggesting a rendezvous at the Hotel Pussy Cat. The wife has chosen this improbable meeting place because a package has just come from there addressed to her husband, and when she opens it (by mistake, of course) she discovers his suspenders. Then the confusions, complications, reversals, double roles, and double meanings take off! -- Publisher's description.
