HOTEL PARADISO
By Georges Feydeau and Maurice Desvallieres

The first year extended diplomas present Feydeau’s
hirlarious farce. Boniface arrives at
the Hotel Paradiso to meet Marcelle; Maxime has been enticed there by an enterprising
and amorous maidservant; Cot goes there to investigate the strange noises which
he is convinced emanate from the drains.
In order to avoid extremely compromising confrontations, everyone spends
the entire night dashing up and down the stairs, in and out of beds in a
crescendo of hilarious chaos which is made even worse by a sudden police raid
on the unsavoury hotel.
