A comedy by Jean-Pierre Martinez
English translation by Anne-Christine Gasc
Desperate to regain some of her family’s lost prestige, Baroness Swindlemore von Hustlestein is in search of a rich and easily pleased suitor for her daughter, who isn’t much to look at. She thinks she has found the perfect candidate …
A comedy aimed at ridiculing the importance given in our society to the appearance of respectability and wealth. The comedic principle here is based on an unexpected reversal, with the scammers ultimately getting scammed by their presumed victims. To quote Shakespeare: « hoist with his own petard. »
