An Absolute Turkey. Peter Hall

Georges Feydeau (1862-1921), the supreme master of farce, devoted his skills to exploding hypocrisy in a very self-important age. An Absolute Turkey (Le Dindon) is one of his best loved plays. He displays all his dramatic tricks as the characters are pulled back and forth by an escalating series of complications. This translation received its London premiere at the Globe Theatre in January 1994.
