About the Author

Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) a tres tot neglige ses etudes pour se consacrer au theatre. Encourage par Labiche, la representation de sa premiere grande piece, "Tailleur pour dames", au Theatre de la Renaissance, a ete bien accueillie.A travers une production tres abondante (pres d'une piece par an), il a renouvele le genre du vaudeville en proposant une etude plus approfondie des caracteres. Il a ainsi aborde le genre de la vraie comedie avec "Le Bourgeon" (1906) et "La main passe" (1907) mais a surtout excelle dans des pieces en un acte, farces conjugales reposant sur des moyens volontairement rudimentaires et neanmoins reellement droles du fait du jeu des artifices et des quiproquos, a l'image de "Feu la mere de madame, On purge bebe" (1910), "Mais n'te promene donc pas toute nue" ! (1912; Mille et une nuits, 2001).
