The next production from T.A.P.A.S. (The Andalucia Performing Arts Society) will be the period farce ‘A Gown for His Mistress’ by Georges Feydeau.

And you thought the Marx Bros. were zany! This 19th century comic masterpiece is a manic montage of mixed identities and misplaced spouses.

Dr. Moulineaux has been out all night in a futile attempt to meet his mistress Suzanne. He tells his wife he has been with Bassinet who is near death, but in walks Bassinet. He decides it is no longer wise to have Suzanne pretend to be a patient and rents an apartment that formerly belonged to a dressmaker. He and Suzanne are discovered in this hide away by her husband, so the doctor poses as a dressmaker and is caught in a desperate entanglement when his wife, his mother in law, Bassinet and Bassinet's wife appear. Moulineaux's household is in an uproar but he manages to lie his way out of it all with the help of Bassinet, who has a photograph that seems to solve everything……

With an excellent cast directed by Leroy Lingwood the show is to be performed on Fri 19th & Sat 20th October at 8pm & on Sun 21st October at 4pm at Los Arcos, nr Coin - Km6 A7059.
