Highlights
Synopsis
This masterpiece of farce is one of the funniest plays ever written.
To test her husband's fidelity, Yvonne sends a letter from an imaginary admirer suggesting a hotel assignation and touches off a dizzy string of madcap mixups.
Press Reviews
"The play, translated by Shaw, is pure cotton candy and lighter than air."
