'Flirft That .Just Lil-IE Life . . . . . . was one of the saner state- ments uttered in the midst of total chaos in WCC's produc- tion of A Flea in Her Ear. Set in the early 1900's, hilarity reigned supreme in this French farce of mistaken identities. Raymonde suspects her hus- band Victor Emmanuel of being unfaithful to her. Having made up her mind about this, she sets out to trap him. Ray- monde gets her best friend Lu- cienne to write Victor a pas- sionate love letter arranging a meeting at the Hotel Pussycat. Only Victor is loyal and when he receives the letter he gives it to his friend Tournel, the lover, thinking it was for him. This charade continues throughout the play involving a jealous Spaniard with a lisp who tried to kill everyone, a posh bordello that caters to only the fattest wallets, a youth who speaks only in vowels, a drunk invalid moaning about his rhumatism, a madame, a revolving bed, a German in need of loving attention, and of course, the lookalike of Victor Emmanuel.
