Once Bitten

WEDNESDAY 15 DECEMBER - SATURDAY 5 FEBRUARY

A Farce. Translated and adapted by Reggie Oliver

Directed by Sam Walters

Designed by Sam Dowson
Lighting by John Harris

There is a lawyer, his pretty wife, his mother in law, an impecunious uncle who falls asleep whenever he sits down, a hopeless maid, the lawyer's lawyer friend and a disgruntled cook. And then there is suddenly his first brief - a divorce. So there is now also the woman who wants a divorce but no scandal and her husband who wants no divorce. And then there are, of course, the mistresses - and one has a dog. And all this has something to do with the Veauradieux case and missing jewellery. So now there are the police too!
