French playwright Georges Feydeau (1862−1921) is regarded as one of great French playwrights of "La Belle Epoque" and the greatest of farce-writers. Le Dindon is considered one of Feydeau's major works. In this three-act play Georges Feydeau takes us to the heights of farcical frivolity as philandering Parisians struggle to conceal their indiscretions from their spouses. Slamming doors, bungled love affairs, vaudevillian antics, and barbed satire punctuate this outrageous comedy about love, lust, and marriage. “Its three acts go from bourgeois home to wildly promiscuous hotel and then back to the daylight world after a night which can once more only be evoked by the words: ‘My God! What a night!’” (Pronko, Georges Feydeau)
