Summary: "Three Plays by Brieux" by Eugène Brieux is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. This compilation showcases Brieux's contributions to contemporary theatre, highlighting his explorations of social issues through tragi-comedy. The plays delve into critical themes, such as the challenges of motherhood in "Maternity," the societal pressures on family dynamics in "The Three Daughters of M. Dupont," and the ramifications of sexual health in "Damaged Goods." At the start of "Maternity," we are introduced to the characters of Lucie and the sous-préfet, Brignac, as they engage in light banter in their home. Brignac discusses his day filled with official duties and reflects on the importance of societal roles while revealing a circular from the Minister of the Interior regarding the declining birthrate in France. The tone is one of optimism and ambition, with Brignac keen to leverage his position to create local committees aimed at addressing this issue. The opening sets the groundwork for a multifaceted exploration of family life, social responsibility, and the interplay of personal and political aspirations, hinting at the deeper inquiries into maternity and societal expectations that will unfold throughout the play.
