'...a new, ribald and impudently funny translation by Robert Cogo-Fawcett and Braham Murray.'
The Sunday Times

'...the seamless beauty and hilarity of this production...surely executes all - and more - than Feydeau could possibly have wished...Lorraine Ashbourne is delicious as the cocotte...while Colin Prockter...is especially funny...Director Gregory Hersov has certainly created a piece of theatre to be relished by farce-lovers.'
Francesca Turner The Guardian

'...Richard McCabe...dominates the evening...Johan Engels's designs are sumptuous...and Davy Cunningham's lighting is masterly. This is a delicious souffle, the sort you would expect to get at Maxim's...'
Michael Schmidt The Daily Telegraph
