BWW Review: 13 RUE DE L'AMOUR farces French style at Theatre Southwest

This is theater by design rather than organic moments of human emotion. The director has taken her background in dance and created a show that is colorful and choreographed as any ballet or opera would be.

This hilarious frolic launched Feydeau in Paris as the Neil Simon of his day. Take one philandering husband, his virtuous wife and a doctor - toss them together at 13 Rue de L'Amour where a love starved German countess is the concierge. This fast-paced farce is filled with fibs, twists and turns in a series of unfortunate events in 1800s Paris.
