Director's Note
​
Farce is a difficult genre to portray well; yet, it is the staple of dinner theatres and summer theatres the country, perhaps the world, over. Farce employs the follies and foibles of human civilization as fodder for exaggeration and humor. It proves more of an acting challenge in farce than in other types of comedy to “find the funny.”
A Flea in Her Ear is a classic French farce: written by George Feydeau in 1907 (originally entitled Boulevard Farce). It has been translated and retold by numerous people and has even served as the basis of a musical. Our adaptation is by Frank Galati of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre. Join us on this unique, fast-paced journey through mistaken identities and revolving beds as we endeavor to “find the funny.”
