Un fil à la patte is set in Belle Époque Paris, where Bois d'Enghien tries to break up with his lover, café-concert singer Lucette Gauthier, in order to marry a young lady from a good family, Viviane Duverger, that very evening. What follows is a series of misunderstandings, improvised lies and slamming doors, as a whole gallery of colorful characters disrupts his plans: a jealous general in love, servants who are far too clever, a sister who's too curious... Feydal's infernal mechanics come to life in a comic ballet where masks fall and money seems to guide all desires - except Lucette's.

This version ofUn fil à la patte could appeal to fans of classic theater, those curious about vaudeville, or audiences looking for fast-paced entertainment in an intimate setting. With its sharp language and situational humor, the play would be particularly accessible to audiences aged 12 and over, including those discovering Feydeau for the first time. On the other hand, the highly coded vaudeville style and dense plot twists might be less suited to those who prefer more pared-down or introspective contemporary theater. The show also plays on a certain satirical rereading of social relationships, through a staging that promises to be lively and biting.
