Sinopsis

The Fantasticks is a romantic comedy in three acts, originally written in French by Edmond Rostand and translated into English by Barrett H. Clark. The play was first performed in 1900 and has since become a classic of the theatrical canon. The story follows two neighboring fathers who feign a feud in order to trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love. The plan works, but when the children discover the truth, they rebel and run away together. The rest of the play explores their journey and the challenges they face as they navigate their new life together. The Fantasticks is known for its whimsical, poetic language and its use of meta-theatrical elements, such as a narrator who addresses the audience directly. It has been adapted numerous times for stage and screen, and remains a beloved favorite of theater-goers around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

The stage is divided by an old mossy wall covered with climbing plants and vines. To the right a bit of Bergamin spark; to the left the park belonging to Pasquin. Benches against the wall on either side. The curtain rising discloses Percinet seated on the top of the wall, with a book on his knee. He is reading aloud to Sylvette, who listens attentively from the other side of the wall, against which she leans, standing on the bench L. Sylvette clasping her hands in admiration, and looking at Percinet. How beautiful! how beautiful! dear Percinet, she checks herself, looks down, and adds shyly dear friend. Percinet tuith enthusiasm, but absorbed in his book. Wait till you hear the lovely, perfect end !N ow, Romeo: H ereads.
