is now open at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre
Set in 1907, A Flea In Her Ear is French farce at its finest — and funniest. A woman suspects her husband of infidelity and plots to confront him at a notorious hotel with the help of her best friend. The husband is innocent but the ladies find the shoe is on the other foot when suspicion is cast on their presence at the hotel. Freakish dopplegängers, maneuvering wives and jealous husbands are caught up in riotous confusion to deliver a guaranteed night of laughter — now through August 16th. Rated PG.
