WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In December, Richard Eyre will direct John Mortimer's version of Georges Feydeau's 1907 classic farce A Flea In Her Ear, last performed on The Old Vic stage for the National Theatre in 1966. Starring Tom Hollander and Lisa Dillon, A Flea In Her Ear, which is a co-production with Sonia Friedman Productions, is a comedy of errors set against a backdrop of jealousy, misunderstandings and confrontation. When Raymonde (Dillon) suspects her husband Victor (Hollander) of infidelity, she enlists the help of a friend to set a trap resulting in mistaken identities, bruised egos and comic disaster.
