Synopsis

Two nightmares, frightfully funny and terribly scary, of married life, by the master of comedy Georges Feydeau.

In the first one, "BETTER LATE" ("FEU LA MERE DE MADAME") the husband returns in the middle of the night, dressed as Louis XIV, from an artists banquet. The wife does not care very much for art, costumes or her husband. But then a calamity falls on the family, and one must forget all the petty quibbles. Mustn't one?

In the second play, "DON'T WALK ABOUT WITH NOTHUNG ON" ("MAIS N'TE PROMENE DONC PAS TOUTE NUE"), The husband - a politician - is in a permanent fear of his reputation because of his wife's chronic tendency to walk around the house dresses as minimally as minimally possible. The situation gets more complicated by a wasp-bite, a visit of a political opponent and the intervention of the media.

These are part of a series of plays by Feydeau on the theme of marriage and divorce, inspired by his own collapsing marriage.
