A Flea in Her Ear

To highlight the Alley Theatre Resident Company of Actors, the company encores one of their most popular plays of the last decade, A Flea in Her Ear. This outrageously chaotic comedy begins with a plan devised by Raymonde Chandebise. She is the suspicious wife of Victor-Emmanuel Chandebise, whom she assumes must be having an affair, as he has recently been unable to fulfill his conjugal duties. When she asks her friend Lucienne to request rendezvous with her husband, and he in turn asks his friend Romain Tournel to replace him at the rendezvous, a chain reaction of frenzied mistaken identities and misplaced jealousies begins.
