Paris, 1870.

Adultery ought to be a serious business… but it’s hard to keep your dignity when the cleaning lady has a fireman in your kitchen and she suspects that something is up. Not to mention the fact that your lover is not only stuck halfway up a drainpipe but is also your husband’s very best friend. And as for the blackmailing taxi driver - he knows everything!

The Threesome is a feast of finely tuned extra-marital mayhem from the master of French farce. This version was produced at the Lyric, Hammersmith in March 2000.
