Sinopsis

Marianne, Fantasio, Don?t Trifle With Love, The Candlestick, A Diversion, A Door Must be Open or Shut, You Can?t Think of Everything The seven plays in this collection share a light-hearted tone, though with occasional and unexpected moments of seriousness.In Marianne, a confirmed cynic intercedes with a married woman on behalf of his best friend. In the eponymous hero of the modern ?fairy tale? Fantasio, by turns imaginative, abrupt and perceptive, Musset provides us with a compelling self-portrait. Don?t Trifle with Love shows the dangerous strategems of two childhood sweethearts, supposedly destined for marriage. In The Candlestick, an infatuated clerk is set up as a decoy by his employer?s young wife and her lover. The one-act plays A Diversion, A Door Must be Open or Shut and You Can?t Think of Everything deal, in witty, epigrammatic style, with various aspects of romance: a wife and her friend test her husband?s fidelity, or lack of it, a man wants to propose to his bantering, blasé hostess, and a couple in love, one absent-minded, the other forgetful, tries to concentrate long enough to get married.
