Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi

Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi("Eopipore, or The resurrection" and the marriage of Biribi) is a comedy in three acts by Sire Barago.

F.C.L. Bosman lists two plays (Eopipore, ou La Resurrection and Le Marriage de Biribi) on page 126 of his 1928 book, but they may have been one play.
