Book excerpt: Kenneth McLeish's definitive translations of the most successful French dramatist of the Belle Epoque Georges Feydau (1862-1921) was the most successful French dramatist of the belle epoque and is now widely regarded as one of the greatest of farce-writers. His series of dazzling hits match high-speed action and dialogue with ingenious plotting.

This volume of new, sparkling translations by Kenneth McLeish contains his two masterpieces, Heart's Desire Hotel (L'Hôtel du libre échange) and Sauce For the Goose (Le Dindon), with three other plays from the peak of his career, The One That Got Away (Monsieur Chasse!), Now You See It (Le System Ribadier) and Pig in a Poke (Chat en poche).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) is considered second only to Molière as a great writer of French comedy and yet his reputation, at least in English-speaking countries, rests largely on a half dozen plays. This book features new translations of five of his lesser known works as seen from the perspective of a stage director: Brothers In Crime (Gibier de potence), The Dressmaker (Tailleur pour dames), All My Husbands (Le mariage de Barillon), That's My Girl! (Occupe-toi d'Amélie), and Nothing But The Tooth (Hortense a dit: «Je m'en fous»). The Introduction provides biographical information, traces the most significant influences in Feydeau's output, and discusses farce as a dramatic genre.

Download or read book Four Farces written by Georges Feydeau and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild plots and quicksilver wit characterize the plays of Georges Feydeau. Called the greatest master of French comedy since Moliere by admirers such as Kenneth Tynan, Feydeau reflects the lusty tradition of the French bedroom farce as well as the tough exorbitant humor later to find full expression in the theater of the absurd. The plays offered in this volume represent the major stages of Feydeau's career. The one-act Wooed and Viewed was his first comedy, written in 1880. On the Marry-go-Wrong shows Feydeau on the way to becoming a master of mad imbroglio, a talent that he demonstrates in Not by Bed Alone. Going to Pot is a one-act play of conjugal strife of the emotional intensity that marked his work toward the end of his career.

Book excerpt: Edition enrichie (Préface, notes, commentaires, bibliographie, biographie) « Lucienne. Enfin, Monsieur, pour qui me prenez-vous ? Je suis une honnête femme. Pontagnac. Ah ! Tant mieux ! J'adore les honnêtes femmes ! » Pontagnac, le « dragueur » malheureux, sera finalement le dindon de la farce. C'est d'ailleurs un brave garçon, qui ne trompe jamais sa femme sans la plaindre. Et qui ne perd jamais la tête : il suit les dames dans la rue, mais s'il pénètre derrière elles dans les pâtisseries, il les attend sagement à la porte des bijouteries. Quant à Vatelin, le mari de Lucienne, il risque de payer fort cher une vieille entorse à la fidélité conjugale, laquelle entorse refait brusquement surface en la personne de Maggy, une joyeuse fofolle anglaise... Un troisième larron, rival de Pontagnac, vient encore compliquer la situation. Et voilà la mécanique en marche, « sans que s'affole un seul rouage, sans que saute un seul ressort », comme dit Jean Richepin. Le 3 mars 1951, à vingt heures trente, le théâtre de Feydeau connaît la consécration suprême : il entre enfin au répertoire de la Comédie-Française, avec, justement, Le Dindon. Préface, commentaires et notes par Henry Gidel.
