The Ladies Man

By Charles Morey, freely translated and adapted
... from "Tailleur Pour Dames" by Georges Feydeau

Directed by Brendan Burke

A mischievous French Doctor tells a ‘tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie’ to his suspicious, young wife to cover an embarrassing indiscretion and his world becomes unhinged. Throw in a monstrous mother-in-law, meddlesome servants, a jealous Prussian soldier, a patient with an outrageous lisp and more doors than any house should hold and you’ve got an outrageous farce of deception, wit and mistaken identities with more energy than the Moulin Rouge.

Loosely adapted from Feydeau’s TAILLEUR POUR DAMES, this hilarious farce has all the elements of a side-splitting evening of theatre. Contemporarily told with a classical touch- this is a classic comedy for the ages.



“An explosion of inspired craziness...I can’t recall the last time I laughed so hard!”
......-The Wall Street Journal

“Delirious absurd madness...gave us the opportunity to laugh in abandon for two full hours!”
......-Democrat and Chronicle

“Feydeau at his silliest...in which a maze lurks behind every door and cases of mistaken identity multiply like May-flies.”
...... -NY Times
