HELLO THEATRE PEOPLE,
COME AUDITION FOR…
The Ladies Man
by Charles Morey
Directed by Lily Cole
In Belle Epoque Paris, a recently married Dr. Hercule Molineaux tells “one, tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie” to cover an innocent but embarrassing indiscretion. From that single untruth tumbles a cascade of increasingly convoluted deceptions, misunderstandings and mistaken identities. Compounding Molineaux’s troubles are a suspicious wife, a gorgon of a mother-in-law, an outrageously aggressive female patient, her violently jealous German husband, a well-intentioned friend with a serious lisp, a butler with an attitude, a maid with a secret, and more slamming doors that realistic architecture should ever accommodate - all adding up to a hilariously zany and infectiously charming farce.
Characters:
Dr. Hercule Molineaux - A gentleman doctor, and “The Ladies Man” in question.
Yvonne - His young, beautiful and suspicious wife.
Madame Aigreville - Dr. Molineaux’s mother-in-law (can be played by a female or male in drag)
Marie - Yvonne’s sassy maid and confidante.
Etienne - Molineaux’s eager-to-please, skirt-chasing butler.
Suzanne Aubain - an exhibitionist female patient lusting after Dr. Molineaux
Gustav Aubain - Suzanne’s violently jealous German husband.
Bassinet - a hapless but well-intentioned patient with a serious (and sometimes contagious) lisp.
