The East Chapel Hill High School drama department will present A Flea in the Ear Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the school’s Mainstage Auditorium.
The play is a new version of Georges Feydeau’s farce by David Ives and tells the tale of Raymonde Chandise, the wife of an insurance salesman, who receives her husband’s suspenders in the mail, putting “a flea in her ear.” She suspects, incorrectly, that her husband, Victor, is having an affair. Incensed, she plans a trap. This romping new translation adds an American twist to the classic French bedroom farce.
Parents should be advised that some material may be unsuitable for viewers under the age of 12. Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door. Tickets are available at eastreservations.org. For more information, email eastreservations@gmail.com
