About the Author:
Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) is best known for his enduring farces, such as 'A Flea in her Ear', yet he wrote over 20 monologues for actors to perform at charity concerts and in fashionable drawing rooms.
Review:
'Peter Meyer's canny translation [indicates] how this is also a story of female revenge against the sexual double standard - [includes] one of those delirious middle acts in Feydeau where the entire cast descend upon some louche establishment and fiendishly complicated shenanigans ensue.' - Independent (on Sauce for the Goose)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Georges Feydeau, once considered as purveyor of slapstick farces, is now accepted as Frances 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. A collection of three farces from Georges Feydeau, commonly accepted to be France's best comic dramatist since Moliere.
