Description
Here are five short comedies from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century France: The Chevalier d'Eon, by Charles Dupeuty and the Baron de Maldigny, tells of a cross-dresser at the court of King Louis XV who gets mixed up in the King's scheme to cheat on the royal mistress, Madame Pompadour; Pregnant with Virtue and Chaste Isabelle, both by Thomas Guellette, are parades or skits, smutty comedies filled with crude horseplay, reflecting the rather low opinion that the Upper Crust had of the lower classes; Colin and Colette, by Pierre Beaumarchais, and The Advantages of Being Ugly, by Ernest Legouve, illustrate the eternal battle of the sexes with grace, wit, and style. There's something here for every taste, from the refined to...the not-so-refined! Great fun.
