Rogues Amidst the Fatherland
WOMEN OF THE WORLD - theater
by Georges Feydeau & Maurice Desvallieres
Directed by Shawn Michial Madsen
Husbands & Wives & Lovers, Oh My! In Feydeau's naughty little farce, Women of the World, cads and their mistresses blithely attempt to cuckold each other in a hilarious tableau of rampant infidelity. The hijinks reach a boiling point at which all lies, falsehoods, and who's really shctupping who is revealed - resulting in a hectic, name calling, face smacking, 6 way-battle royal.
"Women of the World" performs Saturday, 5/7 (5 pm); Friday, 5/13 (11 pm); Saturday, 5/14 (5 and 11 pm); Saturday, 5/21 (5 and 11 pm) RESERVATIONS
