It's springtime in Paris,1738. Poets are the rock stars of the day, and young people like Damis have gone metromanie--crazy for poetry. So verse-crazed is Damis, he falls in love with his favorite poetess, not knowing that his idol is actually a wealthy, middle-aged gentleman writing under a pen name! As said gentleman looks to marry off his sexy but dimwitted daughter, we are off and running in a breathless series of complications, plot twists, and mistaken identities. Soon, scheming servants, verbal acrobatics, and mistaken identities launch a breathless series of twists and turns in this breezy translation/adaptation of a rediscovered French farce by comedic master David Ives.
"A marvel of old and new, with punchlines that glisten with classical flair and contemporary savvy! Frisky, competitive wordplay, and high-octane mix-ups...almost criminally enjoyable."
-Washington Post
