The French Have a Word for It
by Georges Feydeau, Barnett Shaw
What readers are saying
Readers are divided about the production, with one viewer expressing frustration at the staging of the play. They feel that the large cast made it difficult to follow, despite appreciating the initial setup.
Synopsis
The action revolves around a flirt who refuses lovers so long as her husband is faithful.
A wild plot to entrap her stumblingly husband in flagrante delicto becomes so frenetic that the seducers, angry husbands, spying wives, innocent maids, pubescent bellboys and police inspectors lose track of who's in bed with whom.
