4 Male 7 Female

In a bubbly new translation of this internationally famous play, the world of "l'amour" is turned upside down

Doctor Moulineaux is having an innocent affair (hoping it will "improve") with one of his married patients

In an attempt to conceal a recent indiscretion, he tells his wife that he has been sitting up all night with a terminally sick friend, who at that very moment appears on the scene trying to rent Moulineaux a furnished apartment

Moulineaux rents the apartment, proposing a secret rendevous with his mistress

Her husband, however, accompanies her to the love nest and mistakes Moulineaux for a dressmaker

This signals a series of impulsive cover-ups and wild antics which in turn result in absolute chaos

As complication is added to complication, the pace continues to build until the entire world seems to have gone mad

The couples are finally reunited and a semblance of order restored, but one senses that tomorrow it will probably start all over again!
