This play is a part of the Alliance française de Bangalore and Bangalore Little Theatre partnership.

This French farcical play is a part of the partnership between the Alliance Francaise and Bangalore little theatre. It is the culmination of the SPOT (Summer project on theatre) theatre workshop.
In fact, it is not completely certain that farces have themes and meanings. Farcical characters may behave the way they do because they are situated in a farce rather than because their behavior reflects the irrational real world.

A Flea in Her Ear contrasts the bourgeois world of the Chandebise household and the nightmarish otherworld (or demimonde) of Hôtel Minet-Galant (Frisky Puss). This division underlines the divided nature of the play’s major characters. Below the elegant surfaces of their lives, the idle and shallow people of the belle époque—France at the beginning of the twentieth century—live in a degree of chaos. They constantly deceive and are deceived. The most innocent man, Chandebise, can be humiliated and driven to near insanity. The basic instincts of these people are primarily the desires for self-gratification and self-preservation. Some want sex and revenge, while several want to preserve their honor. All want to avoid being shot.
