Notes: | Original Playwright - Victorien Sardou. Translated from Divorçons. Victorien Sardou, the most successful French playwright of his age (with collaborator emile de Najac); adapted from its original 1880 setting to 1921. Sardou's Cyprienne - witty, impatient, passionate, playful - has served as a star vehicle for actresses from Eleonore Duse to Uta Hagen. | |||||
Synopsis: | In a setting of upcoming Divorce Act amendments, Henri Des Prunelles suspects that his young wife Cyprienne has been flirting with his cousin Adhemar - and more. When confronted, Cyprienne justifies her actions as those of a young wife married to an older man - unlike him, she hasn't tasted the best of life yet and prefers the excitement of exotic spices over the regularity of wheat germ. A crafty Henri turns the situation around by agreeing to a divorce, whereupon the young cousin assumes a new, boring status of husband-to-be and Henri takes on the allure of forbidden fruit. The only way Henri can convince Cyprienne he doesn't have a lover himself, is to invite her to a romantic "divorce dinner" at his old bachelor bistro. Champagne, laughter, fine food and making sport of Adhemar rekindles their love and saves their marriage. | |||||
