Feydeau, First to Last

Feydeau was the greatest of a great age of French farceurs and the first to enter the modern repertory. Of the more than 40 plays Feydeau wrote, over a third were one-acts. In this volume, Shapiro has selected and translated eight of these one-act plays, among them Feydeau's first and last works. Includes: Ladies' Man - Wooed and Viewed - Romance in A Flat - Fit to Be Tried, or, Stepbrothers in Crime - Mixed Doubles - The Boor Hug - Caught with His Trance Down - Tooth and Consequences, or, Hortense Said: "No Skin Off My Ass "
