Absolute Turkey, The

Absolute Turkey, The
Georges Feydeau's elegantly complex play is brought to life in this witty; seamless and acutely funny translation by Peter Hall and Nicki Frei. Feydeau, the supreme master of farce, displays all his Dramatic tricks as his characters are pulled back and forth spinning dizzily in a surrealistic climax of complications.
