Raymonde suspects that her husband is having an affair. Determined to know for sure, she and her friend Lucienne write him an anonymous love letter—and suggest a tryst at the infamous Frisky Puss Hotel. Victor can’t imagine the letter is for him, so he sends his associate Tournel—a notorious gigolo—in his place. But before that can happen, Lucienne’s jealous Spanish husband, Carlos, finds the letter, recognizes his wife’s handwriting, and hurries to the Frisky Puss (pistol in hand!), hoping to catch her in flagrante delicto.

"Director Julia Rodriguez-Elliott maintains narrative clarity — no mean feat — and a deft balance between insouciance and lunacy. Her designers exhibit droll panache. Fred Kinney’s set shifts from moderne spareness to Belle Époque glitz and back. Tom Ruzika’s lighting and Robert Oriol’s compositions have a ditzy charm, and Angela Calin’s New Look-meets-nutbar wardrobe is worth admission." Los Angeles Times, September 2015"While everyone stood out, special shout-outs must go to Mirto and her authentic presence, Hill for looking years younger than she apparently is, Elliott for his two characterizations, Fernandez-Gil for making his stereotypical Spaniard so very real as well as funny, Jeremy Rabb as a garishly-attired major domo of the very red whorehouse, Jonathan Bray as a suavely handsome friend of Victor's, along with Joshua Wolf Coleman as the doctor. Most of us were gasping for air by the end of this splendid production, with joyous thanks thrown out indiscriminately to the gorgeous set-design of Fred Kinney, the amazing costume design of Angela Calin, and the French-sounding music of Robert Oriol.
