Georges Feydeau - Theatrical Adaptations

Theatrical Adaptations

The Party's Over, a one act play by Jay Parker is loosely based on Feydeau's one act Par la Fenêtre.

Feydeau's one-act farce "Mais n'te promène donc pas toute nue !", translated by Olivier Bernier as "Please don't walk around in the nude" was produced at Harvard in 1960. It is the funniest play ever written. - Rol Maxwell

Paxton Whitehead and Suzanne Grossman adapted three of Georges Feydeau's plays: There's One in Every Marriage for the Broadway stage in 1971, Chemin de Fer in 1974 and A Flea in Her Ear in 1982.

Charles Morey's English adaptation of Tailleur pour dames, titled The Ladies Man, was first performed in 2007.
