Sobre IBD

Si Alexis Piron fut longtemps connu uniquement comme l'auteur de la grande comédie La Métromanie, plus récemment la découverte de quelques-unes de ses pièces foraines, surtout le monologue délirant qu'est Arlequin-Deucalion, révéla un autre aspect de son talent comique. Mais il fut aussi l'auteur de trois tragédies, dont la deuxième, Gustave-Wasa (1733), devint l'une des mieux connues de l'époque. Ce volume présente cette tragédie avec les paratextes préparés par Piron pour sa réédition dans les Œuvres de 1758. Les incidents foisonnent dans cette aventure de cape et d'épée, qui se déroule sur le fond historique de la fin de l'Union de Kalmar, quand Gustav Vasa chassa de Stockholm Christian II, détenteur de la triple couronne du Danemark, de la Suède et de la Norvège, pour prendre sa place comme roi suédois.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...

The two plays included in this edition are among Piron’s best, and have in common the fact that they make use of pre-existing sources, although these are very different in kind, being, on the one hand, a ...
