| An Absolute Turkey by Georges Feydeau, Translated from 'Le Dindon' by Nicki Frei and Peter Hall. October 16 to the 25th, 2008 Sunday 19th Matinee at 2pm At the Pumphouse Theatre 2140 Pumphouse Avenue SW Prices $20 adults, $18 Student/Seniors Box Office Phone: 403-808-3818 An absolute farce... The story revolves around M. Pontignac, who endeavors to seduce his friend's faithful wife by proving her husband's infidelity. Add a businessman emigrated from Marseille and his wife who speaks broken everything, a libidinous if obese army doctor with a stone-deaf wife, and a hotel garçon in the throes of puberty - to name but a few - and we have a cast to rival any modern television comedy with its sheer force of absurdity. The unfortunate M. Pontignac, looking forward to a night with his beloved, instead gets two nights in the police lock-up, two black eyes, and public humiliation before his friends. It is he, then, who becomes 'An Absolute Turkey'. "An unassailable masterpiece." Guardian. "A crowd pleasing rib tickler." What's On. | |
