Slapstick; sexual jealousy; and mistaken identity. At its best, farce can be sublime – its intricate plotting and sheer silliness combining to blissful comic effect. But should we take farce seriously, or is is mere lowbrow entertainment? What makes a good farce, and how should a director approach it? On the opening of Georges Feydeau’s 1907 farce 'A Flea in Her Ear' at the Old Vic in London, Jan Dalley puts these questions to its distinguished director, Sir Richard Eyre, who was artistic director of the National Theatre for a decade, and to Sarah Hemming, the FT's theatre critic. Produced by Griselda Murray Brown.

General Circular - dated 10.10.2011 - Registration of Companies and LLPs with objective to do business of Architect

Lionel Messi begged Neymar to return to Barcelona after their embarrassing 4-0 defeat by Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final last season according to France Football. 

'Unfortunately, Marco felt something after training,' Tuchel told a news conference. Tuchel broke the news without elaborating on the nature of the injury.

Despite rumours of a return to the Camp Nou, Neymar now believes he is owed £2.9m (€3.5m) in unpaid wages in addition to the £36.2m (€43.6m) he thinks he is owed via a renewal bonus.

Barcelona have not given up hope of re-signing Neymar. Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu and director Eric Abidal are unlikely to sanction a move in January.

The 27-year-old, who is regularly named as one of the wealthiest and most marketable athletes in the world, was in Sao Paulo to celebrate the birthday of pal Gabriel Medina at a psychedelic-themed party.

The Brazilian superstar is having his legal team look at potential routes back to Camp Nou after he left the Catalan giants back in 2017.

The Barcelona legend, who now plies his trade with Vissel Kobe in Japan, called Neymar 'one of the best forwards out there' and said he would be a great addition to the team.

The Brazilian has long been linked with a reunion with his former club, having endured a tumultuous spell in the French capital where his relationship with the PSG faithful has hit rock bottom.

Neymar insists there is 'immense affection and great respect' between him and Paris Saint-Germain fans despite beeing booed by supporters earlier this season after trying to force a return to Barcelona.

Former Barcelona chief Jordi Mestre has called for the club to re-sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain - but admits the manner of his world-record £200million departure in 2017 still stings. 

Lionel Messi wants both Neymar and Lautaro Martinez to join Barcelona. The Argentine legend is spoke openly about his desire for Neymar to return.
