What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play, noting its somewhat unconventional premise and brief duration. Some appreciate its fun elements while others critique its underlying concept as far-fetched and lacking depth.
Synopsis
Who is more unfaithful in love, men or women?
This is the crux of Marivaux's lean story of love, desire, betrayal, and passion, a cautionary tale about the danger and intrigue of seduction.
First performed by the American Repertory Theatre to critical acclaim, this translation by Gideon Lester is set on a contemporary battlefield of the sexes, with the performers going at one another with wit and passion.
