Le Prince des jouisseurs

The Adelaide University French Club proudly presents its 2017 theatrical production, Le Prince des jouisseurs, a comedy by Gabriel Sabourin, about the life of famous French playwright Georges Feydeau.

The year is 1919, Georges Feydeau is 56, recently divorced and living in a Parisian hotel room. He personifies the devil-may-care attitude; he drinks heavily, is a profligate spender, has a gambling problem, and a reputation for womanising. He also hasn't written a play in over three years...

The stage is set for a hilarious play, full of increasingly outlandish characters and escapades, mistaken identity and a subtly foreshadowed, poignant dénouement that will both stun, and resonate with, modern audiences.

English-speaking audience members will find the play full of visual humour, "lovers hiding under beds", and featuring English surtitles so you can laugh along at all the word-play too!

Performances will be at the Little Theatre, Adelaide University Cloisters (https://goo.gl/maps/p876K8QFsUv)
