The Performing Arts Company’s annual Fall play is “An Absolute Turkey” (Le Dindon), a French bedroom farce written by Belle Époque-era playwright Georges Feydeau in 1896. This fast-paced, humorous show skewers the morals of upper class society as a group of aristocrats attempt to have extramarital affairs, or catch their spouses having an affair. When everyone accidentally ends up in the same hotel room on the same night, mistaken identities, interference from hotel guests and staff, and wacky hi-jinks lead to disaster for some and a happy ending for others.
Le Dindon literally is a “turkey” but in French usage denotes a dupe or fall guy.
CONTENT WARNING: The PAC Production depicts sexual situations played for laughs, but with some “adult humor” in the mix.
Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13, 14 and 15 at 7 p.m. in the Belmont High School’s Black Box Theater
