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!
