The Yardley Players are set to present the French farce A Flea in Her Ear at Kelsey Theatre.
Mix-ups, misplaced jealousies, mistaken identities and madcap chases abound as the upper crust of French society cavorts in “A Flea in Her Ear.” The Yardley Players present this hilarious French farce
Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. on Sept. 20, 21, 27 and 28; and 2 p.m. on Sept. 22 and 29. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. A reception with the cast and crew follows the opening night performance on Sept. 20.
Penned in 1907 by the French playwright Georges Feydeau, this latest version by David Ive retains the original show’s merriment, while adding some wackiness that keeps it as fresh and funny today as it was a century ago.
In the play, Raymonde suspects her husband of having an affair and decides to catch him in the act. Her plot backfires, leading to a rapid succession of twists and turns as the entire cast ends up at a hotel that is known for romantic rendezvous. What follows is nothing short of chaos as cast members chase each other through doors, over beds, out windows and more.
The cast features Michael Gonzalez of Columbus, Joe Zedeny of East Windsor, Mike McCollum of Feasterville, Pa., Nicole Spadafino of Flemington, Kevin Hallam, Wayne Rossignol, Theodocia Rovira and Mark Swift of Hamilton, Kathy Kutalek of Hightstown, Theo Varga of Medford, Roman Sohor of Parlin, Maureen Hackett of Robbinsville, Walter Smyth of Trevose, Pa. and Stephanie Moon of Yardville
Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $14 for students and children.
