Notes:

Original Playwright - Eugene Labiche

Synopsis:

To ensure his romantic affairs with married ladies run smoothly, Celimare has a ruse. To keep things sweet, he befriends their husbands too, and in truth, he proves to be a wonderful friend. He remembers their birthdays, chooses their furnishings, employs their cooks. Everybody's happy - even the dog. But when the 47 year-old prepares to leave the past behind and marry 18 year-old Emma, it's easy enough to burn his lovers' letters, but his mistresses' husbands are simply not prepared to let him go. Set in 19th century Paris, this hilarious French farce - replete with songs and dances - is by Eugene Marin Labiche (1815-1888), a consumate master of the well-made play, who was to be a huge influence upon Georges Feydeau himself.

Notes:

Original Playwright - Eugene Labiche. A translation of Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon, written by leading Paris playwright Eugene Labiche and collaborator edouard Martin in 1860. Performed at the Comedie-Francaise in Paris as recently as the 2008-9 season, this jewel of 19th century French "boulevard comedy" has been too long neglected in the English-speaking world.

Synopsis:

Perrichon is the proverbial successful businessman - comfortable, excessively sure of himself, spectacularly devoid of self-awareness, who can soldier on through any calamity except being obliged to feel grateful. As the play opens, Perrichon is leading his wife and daughter Henriette on their first ever vacation - to Mont Blanc by train. Armand and Daniel show up at the train station - two young men who have both fallen in love with Henriette and agree to be friendly adversaries for her hand. Armand gains the first advantage by rescuing Perrichon from a crevasse on the glacier. Daniel shrewdly arranges an opportunity to fall in a crevasse himself, so that Perrichon can be a hero (a more congenial role than that of rescued victim). Perrichon rashly writes a note insulting a travelling military man, who ends up challenging him to a duel back in Paris. Armand comes close to ruining his chance to marry Henriette by extricating her father from this danger as well - until Perrichon overhears Daniel laughingly assess him as "an imbecile who can only bear the crushing weight of gratitude for a few minutes at a time".
