"Panic is the chief
ingredient of ANYTHING TO DECLARE?, a 1906 French farce.... as
the emergencies mount for a bashful bridegroom, his hypocritical
father-in-law, a frustrated former suitor and a de-pantsed camel
dealer.
Farce, which requires absolute
conviction in the face of increasingly absurd circumstances, may
be the most fragile of theatrical forms. ANYTHING, by Feydeau
contemporaries Maurice Hennequin and Pierre Veber, puts the
players through some demanding paces.
Laurence Senelick's gleefully
euphemistic translation..."
