	Georges Feydeau
		Georges Feydeau, (born December 8, 1862, in Paris, France, and died there on June 5, 1921), was a playwright of La Belle Epoque.
		Feydeau's bedroom farces, telling of the high life of the low life in Paris's demi-mondaine, are noted for great wit and complex plots, featuring misunderstandings and coincidences, and what one critic called "jack-in-the-box construction".
		During the winter of 1918 Feydeau contracted syphilis and slowly descended into madness in the remaining years of his life.

	About the Playwright: Georges Feydeau
		Born in Paris on December 8, 1862 (some claim 1863), to Ernest Feydeau, a renowned writer and scholar, and Lodzia Zelewska or Slewska, a Polish woman, Feydeau was rumored to really be the son of the duke of Morney or Napoleon III.
		Feydeau had somewhat of an existentialist view of an absurd universe where men and women confront a hostile world in which the innocent suffer with no hope of comic resolution.
		Feydeau suffered from melancholia and moved to a sanatorium in 1919 to be treated, but remained only partially lucid, dying insane in 1921.

	A Flea in Her Ear: Pure Farce
		Peter Glenville has observed that Feydeau’s plays are “immaculately constructed,” and “are concerned largely with the appetites and follies of the average human being caught in a net devised by his own foolishness” (Feydeau: Father of Pure Farce” Theatre Arts, [April, 1957], 66).
		In fact, by the end of the second act, she is seeking forgiveness for having merely been in the hotel with another man. Ironically, unlike most of Feydeau’s women, she insists that she cannot betray her husband because she is too upset.
		Feydeau’s portrayal of love includes conjugal love; adultery; the homosexual proclivities of Doctor Pinache; the sadistic penchant of Ferraillon, the hotel-keeper; and the masochism of his wife, Olympe.

		Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) was born in Paris to Lodzia Zelewska, an infamous Polish beauty in Parisian high society, and Ernest Feydeau, a poet and journalist who had had a fleeting literary succes de scandale with his erotic novel, Fanny.
		It was rumored at the time, and Feydeau played on this rumor later in life, that he was in fact the son of either Napoleon III or the Duc de Morny.
		All of Feydeau’s plays deal in love and its frustrations, as he casts a witheringly ironic eye on the deviousness of the human animal, poking holes in the fabric of bourgeois respectability, pretension and conformity.

	According to Hoyle, it's a farce \| www.azstarnet.com ®
		The thing about comedy, and particularly these Feydeau plays, is that there's some pretty serious stuff going on underneath the humor.
		And that's something that is as true today as when Feydeau wrote these in the early 1900s, said Hoyle.
		Feydeau, who also wrote "A Flea in Her Ear" and "The Lady From Maxim's," was a master at humor and writing, said Hoyle.

		His own protestations to the contrary, Georges Feydeau must have been at least mildly amused by the utter madness of his literary conceits.
		Four Farces by Georges Feydeau, translated by Norman Shapiro, was a National Book Award finalist last year thanks to Shapiro's facility in rising to the challenge of Feydeau, and this production shows that Shapiro's translation makes a good acting text as well as a good reading version.
		Feydeau's farces depend on so many devices, visual tricks, wordplays, multiple entrances and exits, that only a well-disciplined company can hope to make sense (or nonsense) of them.

		An unaccustomed Feydeau touch in Chemin de Per, which has been stylishly revived by Manhattan's New Phoenix Repertory Company, is that it is sexier than most of his other farces.
		Feydeau was never restrained by the polite inhibition that one cannot kid the tonsils off a person who stutters, and his plays abound in incidental characters whom nature has shortchanged.

	The Game Hunter,
		So Feydeau's plays do not touch on the pain and hurt of adultery but expose the hypocrisy of the anger at discovering infidelity.
		As the Orange Tree is theatre in the round, the many doors closing and opening are mimed by the cast to the sound effects played by the stage manger with her magic box of door handles and catches.
		Feydeau may not be cutting edge theatre but I found The Game Hunter charming and silly.
