An Absolute Turkey
Gremlin Theatre
550 Vandalia Street St. Paul
Belle Époque playwright George Feydeau is well-known for his lively French farces, featuring classic mistaken-identity plots and plenty of slamming doors, ala his famous A Flea in Her Ear. Now, Gremlin Theatre takes on the master's turn-of-the-century special Le Dindon, or An Absolute Turkey. The fowl in question is a man who decides to try and seduce his friend's wife, setting off a series of schemes both romantic and revenge-minded, leading to bedtime bedlam and pandemonium. Peter Hall and Nicki Frei's adaptation was originally commissioned for the Globe Theatre in London.

An Absolute Turkey Reviews
| Star Tribune - Recommended
"... Adapted by Nicki Frei and Sir Peter Hall from Georges Feydeau's classic "Le Dindon," "An Absolute Turkey" is an ambitious undertaking for Gremlin, and, despite a few opening night wobbles, they meet the challenge successfully. Sara Richardson brings her signature physicality to the role of Lucienne, the wife who's almost eager to catch her husband in an infidelity that would justify her own little fling. Whether she's flitting in and out of doors, tangling on the floor with her would-be lover or swooning with aplomb, Richardson's ironically mannered style sets the tone for this production."
