This side-splitting work from the supreme master of traditional farce contains all the classic ingredients – thwarted passion, spiralling panic and a seedy hotel where the corridors see more action than the beds – in a completely hilarious evening of mistaken identities and sexual innuendo. Set in 19th century Paris, Monsieur Pinglet and his neighbour’s wife, Marcelle, attempt to get their affair underway by discreetly taking a room at an obscure hotel. But far from the quiet evening of amour they had anticipated, they encounter half of Paris here, including most of their relatives and the Inspector of Public Morality!
