The 1812 Theatre presents

A Flea in her Ear

A Flea in Her Ear is world-renowned as the funniest and most famous of all the French farces. It’s perfectly formed in its comic timing, shamelessly and completely bonkers.

We’re in Paris, 1908. After years of married bliss, Madame Raymonde Chansebise suspects her husband is having an affair. In an effort to catch him in the act she causes a lot more trouble than she bargained for. Spiralling into a high-octane storm of sexual intrigue, mistaken identities, and bed-receiving mayhem, a cavalcade of characters get in on the act.

Some want sex and revenge; several want to preserve their honour. All want to avoid being shot. Nobody gets any sleep. You will laugh out loud.

Season: 18 August – 3 September

Gemco Players

This is a rollicking comedy about the attempts of some working class amateurs to overcome their inhibitions and left feet in a low-rent dance studio in North London. Mavis, a former professional chorus girl, tries her hardest to teach the bumbling amateurs some Terpsichore.

Date: Saturday 20 August at 7.30pm – 10 pm.
