These eight short plays by Louis Carmontelle, Thomas Gueulette, Jan
Potocki, and Russian Empress Catherine II the Great (of all people
) were all the rage in eighteenth-century France--short skits that
could easily be performed by amateur companies. Since they weren't
writing "literature," the authors of these pieces could create
anything without adhering to the "dramatic rules." And invent they
did Bawdy, even obscene humor permeates many of these works. All of
them are wacky, anything-for-a-laugh comedies with little or no
attention paid to logic, plots, or themes--just a series of zany,
lewd, funny actions near enough to reality to be slightly
discomfiting to the popular audiences who loved them. And they
still remain as sidesplitting today as they were 200 years ago
