A Thread on the Leg

In order to marry a wealthy heiress, Bois-d'Enghien does everything he can to get rid of his mistress Lucette Gautier, a café-concert singer. From cowardice to lies, he sinks into an inextricable situation, leading Feydeau to summon a host of comical and offbeat characters.

One of the masterpieces of vaudeville and comic plays of all genres, Feydeau displays the full extent of his genius here, combining situational comedy with the burlesque of the characters.
