A Flea in Her Ear
When the beautiful wife of Victor Chandebise suspects him of having an affair, she enlists the help of her dearest friend to entrap him. Their plan to entice him to a rendezvous at the Hotel Coq d’Or spectacularly misfires and chaos ensues. Set in the decadent surroundings of Belle Epoque Paris, Feydeau’s quintessential farce promises to be an exhilarating performance of mistaken identities and comic disaster.

These 90-minute sessions take place before the matinee performances. Designed as participatory master classes, Insight sessions are facilitated by key members of the company and creative team (such as the director, writer and stage manager) and offer a first-hand insight into the creative choices made in staging a theatre production.
“The workshop helped me understand the roles of each character. It also helped in my confidence of acting within a group and how to express myself in different ways.” Student, Wembley High School Autumn 2010
