But their 'fidelity' is about to be put to the test when a series of importunate suitors and femmes fatales invade their cozy little world. Dive headfirst into the misadventures of one madcap night in a Parisian hotel in this new adaptation of Feydeau's classic farce Le Dindon, and discover how opening the wrong door in the dark of night can lead to mayhem, laughter, and a few unlikely revelations about the secret to a happy marriage. |

Other than Vatelin, all actors play multiple roles. French accent needed only when noted.
Actor 1 (F) Late 20s-40s Lucy Vatelin: The wife of a French lawyer. She dresses in a strait-laced manner, her hair tight and her clothes fashionable yet modest. She's bright, proper, shrewd and sweet- with a lot of spunk! Mme. Pinchard: A bit older. Deaf. Suffers from indigestion and though she can be naughty she is sweetly in love with her husband. She has no sense of fashion and wears unbecoming eyeglasses. ACTOR 2 (M) 30-50s Pontegnac: A true cad. A dark suited Lothario who runs after every woman he sees. He's something of an overgrown man-child - a real schemer who attempts to satisfy his every urge. Soldignac: A Hungarian businessman, born in Marseilles, now living in Italy. Genial, emotional and a little dim. Also a boxer. Dr. Pinchard: A cantankerous country doctor on holiday in Paris with his wife. He's older and easily irritated. Though he may stray occasionally, he truly loves his wife. ACTOR 3 (M) 30-40s Vatelin: A Paris lawyer. He's a bit of an aw-shucks nerd, with a smile and a bow tie. Bright and enthusiastic. Above all, he loves his wife even though he can act like a real dingdong at times. ACTOR 4 (M) Late 20s-40s
Redillon: A handsome, refined, European Dandy with standards. His clothes are ostentatious with a scarlet shirt and a flamboyant coat. He has a good heart underneath his lecherous exterior. Bellboy: 17 years old, trying his best to keep the hotel running. Policeman: A Parisian policeman. Slight French accent. ACTOR 5 (F) 30-50s
Mme Pontegnac: A no-nonsense Parisian woman with a gruff exterior. She's suspicious of her husband's every move. She's tenacious, brash and has a penchant for fine clothes and fine appearances. Fabiola: A passionate lover from Italy. Her emotions can swing from elated to devastated within the same breath. She loves to be in love! Mandy: A savvy New York type with Manhattan moxie. At times, a breathy, sweet lover - but she's tough. She's a smart cookie, in control, inexhaustible... and always hard to satisfy. She's looking for love and she knows what likes. French Maid: A French maid who is sexy. Slight French accent. Seeking a diverse cast. All roles are available. |
