"La Maison des Marginaux" - The House of Misfits

All rights through tinyscripted https://www.tinyscripted.com/on-stage

This play entitled; La Maison Des Marginaux is a French farce with a female lead. When looking for a play to do with my students, I was not surprised to learn finding a farce with more than 2 women in the cast daunting. This script focuses on the trials of women during the 1730’s.

Set in the 1730’s French Province, this Commedia Dell’arte piece puts the subject of women’s rights and desires center stage as females take lead. This story of Eloise and her search for happiness is filled with love, lust, lashes, lunacy and laughter. With the ability to double cast, this show is just the comedy your actors are looking for.
