A Flea in Her Ear

One of Georges Feydeau’s masterpieces of Parisian boulevard theatre, written in 1907.

Another comedy in his characteristic door-in, door-out style: very fast, in language, in dialogue and in movement. It is a play that asks a great deal of its performers, which is why it has almost only ever been staged by professional companies.

What makes it remarkable is not its depth, though it does throw light on the society of its time, but a certain lunacy, a kind of schizophrenia in its characters, and a pace that never lets you catch your breath.

Performed in German. Cast, production team and tour dates are listed on the German page.
