Description
This most successful of Anouilh's works in the United States is an excellent lark loaded with humorous whims, romance and masquerades. The scene is a palatial home where two attractive young girls reside. The home is invaded by three affectionate thieves on the one hand and by a country bumpkin on the other. A lovely romance blooms instantly between one of the girls and the youngest thief. Being a very honest fellow, he cannot in conscience accept her love and instead turns with vengeance toward his job. But she is swifter in her wiles than he is in his.
