Chat en Poche by Georges Feydeau in Nantes

This classic French comedy by Georges Feydeau, first performed in 1892 at the Théâtre Déjazet, offers a sharp satire of bourgeois society. The plot follows Pacarel, a wealthy sugar industrialist, who mistakes a young law student for a famous tenor, setting off a cascade of misunderstandings and farcical situations.

Attendees can expect a lively theatrical experience filled with Feydeau's trademark wit and intricate comedic timing. The play explores themes of egoism and social pretension, with modern commentators noting its characteristic portrayal of a small, self-absorbed bourgeoisie.

This production in Nantes brings a beloved piece of French theatre to life, featuring the original three-act structure and the classic roles of Pacarel, Dufausset, and the mistaken identity plot.
