A Flea in Her Ear makes a triumphant return... blissfully funny.
The Independent
When Raymonde Chandebise (Lisa Dillon) believes her husband, Victor Emmanuel (Tom Hollander) is having an affair, she and her old friend Lucienne devise what they believe is a simple plan to catch him out. However, their plan misfires when the letter they have sent sets in motion a myriad of confusion and suspicion, involving everyone from the servants to a member of the Spanish aristocracy.
Tom Hollander mixes manic energy with moments of goggling incredulity… skillfully executed.
Evening Standard
The Old Vic and Sonia Friedman Productions present “A FLEA IN HER EAR” by Georges Feydeau – Translation by John Mortimer.
Impeccably cast... Richard Eyre’s frenetic, precise production is a delight.
