Set in Roman times, Voltaire's play THE TRIUMVIRATE details a
meeting on an island between Anthony and Octavian, in which the two
main players in the post-Caesar Roman world decide how to divide up
the spoils of war--and eliminate all potential rivals. Anthony
agrees to divorce his wife Fulvia and marry Octavian's sister; and
Octavian wants to marry Julia, Lucius's daughter, who loves Sextus
Pompey, son of Pompey the Great. When a storm lands Julia and
Pompey Junior on the island, Fulvia agrees to help the star-crossed
lovers--if they will aid her in gaining her revenge on Anthony and
Octavian. Louis Lurine and Alberic Second's play COMEDY AT FERNEY
features an elderly Voltaire, who must put off a starstruck young
female fan who wants to meet him. But Voltaire's guest, the Prince
de Ligne, decides to use the situation to sample the favors of the
infatuated woman. A clever and swift-moving comedy.
