No one speaks about the landscape of the heart more eloquently than the great French playwright Marivaux, in this elegantly composed classic.
The mischievous princess Leonide will stop at nothing to conquer love in this bedazzling 18th century romantic comedy by Pierre Marivaux, France’s most influential playwright. Full of delicious deception, gender confusions and all the complexities of l’amour; Marivaux reveals the beauty, absurdities and bittersweet nature of love. With Harlequin running interference, Leonide embarks on a quest to win the heart of the man who can rightfully usurp her kingdom, by wooing everyone in her path. Triumph of Love launches our exciting “Bridging the Classics” Initiative with California Shakespeare Theatre.
