The Pregnant Pause or Love's Labor Lost
by Georges Feydeau, Norman R. Shapiro
Synopsis
Hector Ennepeque, first time father to be, is in extended labor and protracted comic convulsions over his wife Leonie's imminent delivery.
Before the baby's arrival, this hilarious farce gives birth to multiple comic harangues aimed at the helpless husband.
When Hector tries to rebound from the recriminations of his aristocratic in laws, he is swatted aside by an Amazon midwife who takes charge.
Here is a brilliant tableau of conjugal chaos by the master of the genre.
