French playwright Georges Feydeau’s 1907 comedy, A Flea in Her Ear, plays on a simple fear— does your partner’s sudden lack of libido reflect a lack of interest in you? In the Belle Époque-era play, a wife tests the waters by having her friend pen an anonymous love letter to her husband, Victor, in hopes of a rendezvous. Instead, Victor assumes the letter was meant for his playboy friend and accepts the offer. The plot follows the characters, who become increasingly confused. American playwright David Ives adapted this classic French comedy for American audiences, and his revisions will be used in this staging by The Toledo Repertoire Theatre, April 5-14.
$20, adults. $18, seniors. 8pm, Thursdays-Saturdays. 2pm, Sundays. The Toledo Repertoire Theatre, 16 10th St.
