Directors Notes

Who said French farce was difficult?

All that is required for this week’s play is two sets, seven doorways, a staircase and two rooms in the second act. One a bedroom containing two revolving beds!

Add a list of characters that only Feydeau could have put together, a young man with a cleft palate, an oversexed maid, two beautiful but scatter brained women, one of whom, along with her fiery Spanish husband, who lisps, has to deliver certain passages very rapidly in Spanish.

Plus a randy old German and the central male character who has to play a dual role giving him only seconds to change. And there are still another half dozen incredible characters to add to the list. Difficult? Nothing to it really. If one may be allowed a dreadful pun, could it be said that “Presenting French farce is no joke?”

There are no messages – (did someone say, ‘Thank goodness’?), just our hope that at the end of the evening you will leave the theatre warm with laughter on what is probably a bleak and cold winter evening.
