[For Better or Worse] FOR BETTER OR WORSE

based on plays by Georges Feydeau
translated and adapted by Geoff Hoyle
directed by David Ira Goldstein
March 11–April 24, 2005
Thrust Stage
running time: 2 hours, including one 15 minute intermission

It has all the components of classic comedy: an unhinged husband, his wife, her lover, a constipated brat and a military contract for unbreakable chamber pots. In this world premiere production, comic genius Geoff Hoyle outdoes the outrageous as a hapless husband in the midst of a matrimonial hurricane. Don’t miss “one of the great and unique performers of our time” (San Francisco Chronicle) as he helps himself to a dose of inspired lunacy. It’s Hoyle’s own adaptation of the comedies of Georges Feydeau, master of farce and author of A Flea in Her Ear. He and his hilarious castmates are serving up a heaping helping of laughter!
