Theater "Georges & Georges" by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Description

"Georges & Georges" is a jewel of wit, misunderstandings and theatrical coups. With fine, rhythmic dialogue and a wealth of comic effects, the author offers spectators and performers alike a magnificent comedy in which doors continually slam in a frantic crossfire. Dazzling inventiveness and theatrical references. This play is a tribute to Feydeau's genius, to his art of tangling plots and to his dramaturgical rule: "When the presence of a character is undesirable, he must immediately enter the scene".

A completely hallucinatory day in the life of the famous vaudevillist: Georges Feydeau! Georges is drowning in debt, can't stand his wife, is waiting for the wealthy Queen of Batavia, can no longer write Act III, has to run away from a theater director's envoy, has to be treated by the inventor of the "electromagnetic armchair". But all Georges wants to do is get married!... This could be the summary of the play, but it's only the prologue!...

The troupe's excellent acting draws the audience into a gentle madness that quickly

quickly gives way to a splendid, madcap mishmash. Don't miss

the sumptuously delirious world of Feydeau. France Bleu
