Le Gendre de M. Poirier ("Monsieur Poirier's son-in-law") is a comedy in four acts by Émile Augier (1820–1889)[1] and Jules Sandeau (1811–1883)[2]
The play is sometimes wrongly ascribed to Augier alone.
Contents
The original text
Written in 1854, the theme broadly based on Sandeau's novel Sacs et Parchemins (1850), this was a popular play about moral values and an arranged marriage based on commercial concerns, and the ultimate triumph of love.
First performed on 8 April, 1854 in the Théâtre du Gymnase-Dramatique in Paris, it would become Augier's most love work and a standard play for the Théâtre-Française.
Translations and adaptations
Translated into Afrikaans as Die Skoonseun van Mnr. Poirier by D.F. Malherbe (1881-1969).
The play was the source and title of Marcel Pagnol's first film , distributed in 1933.
