2nd Story kicks off its season with anarchic farce The Ladies Man, Charles Morey’s recent adaptation of Georges Feydeau’s 1886 comedy Tailleur pour dames. 2nd Story Artistic Director Ed Shea plays Dr. Hercule Molineaux, a man who sleeps on a park bench in order to hide a certain bedroom issue from his wife. One fib leads to another, and then another, and soon there’s a mother-in-law, a Spanish soldier, a horny patient, a man with a lisp, and a pair of servants all confronting one another in a dress shop. There’s lots of mistaken identities and running around and door slamming, apparently.
