An Absolute Turkey
Bergen County Academy for the Performing Arts production of "An Absolute Turkey".
Synopsis:
Complete with slamming doors and mistaken identity, An Absolute Turkey (Le Dindon in the original French) is a lightning-paced symphony of intrigues, betrayals and misunderstandings by the supreme master of farce, Georges Feydeau. The breakneck pace of these various crises created a physical theatre that foreshadowed the zaniness of the silent screen. The ‘turkey’ (Dindon) or ‘fool’ of the piece chases after his friend’s wife; the wife hatches a mischievous revenge plot. Liaisons are arranged and bungled in a shady hotel, couples re-couple and bedtime leads to bedlam. The delicious confusion rises to a climactic crescendo of pandemonium and panic which The New York Times called simply ‘Glorious!’
