The One That Got Away
T0815694089
Monsieur Duchotel, a Parisienne businessman, has a roving eye and a lust for... fishing trips. It turns out he has been casting his line in uncharted waters and he's not the only one. His best-friend, Dr.Moricet, has a passion for poetry and a longing for Leontine - Duchotel's beautiful and trusting young wife. Then there's Gontran, Duchotel's randy young nephew, who's always afetr a handout, and Madame Latour, a concierge who was once a countess married to a lion-tamer... Feydeau's uproarious farce brilliantly incorporates all the classic elements of the genre. Behind the shutters at 40, Rue d'Athenes, Dr Moricet's love-nest becomes the venue for a whole shoal of illicit rendez-vous, ridiculous cover stories and bungling policemen. As doors slam, would-be lovers hide in closets and men find their trousers round their ankles, this glorious concoction will have you hooked.
