Georges Feydeau (1862 - 1921), the supreme master of farce, devoted his skills to exploring hypocrisy in a very self-important age. An Absolute Turkey (Le Dindon) is one of his best loved plays. He displays all his dramatic tricks as the characters are pulled back and forth by an escalating series of complications.
