The Loser
by Georges Feydeau
Synopsis
Pontagnac, an inveterate womanizer, follows Lucienne to her house and makes advances.
When her husband appears, who is none other than Vatelin, one of Pontagnac's friends, the kerfuffle is soon settled between them as Vatelin, knowing Pontagnac, forgives him.
But an unforeseen event sows discord: Liesl, who had been Vatelin's mistress in Vienna, arrives at his house.
Pontagnac takes this opportunity to tell Lucienne that her husband is cheating on her and gives her proof that Vatelin has a date in a hotel room with Liesl.
Meanwhile, earnest Redillon, Lucienne's friend, also declares his love for her.
What is Lucienne to do?
From there Feydeau's intricate plot catches you up in a whirlwind of amorous and vengeful hilarity that ends with — you may conclude — everyone getting just what they deserve.
