Summary | "French without a master: A farce in one act" by Tristan Bernard is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. This work exemplifies Bernard's signature style, combining humor with social commentary, as it explores the amusing confusion resulting from language barriers in a hotel setting. It features characters from different backgrounds and highlights the whimsical situations and misunderstandings that arise in cross-cultural interactions. The play centers around Gerald Forsyth and Séraphine Chanoine-Malherbe, a young couple eloping in London. When Séraphine's father arrives at the hotel looking for his daughter, he encounters various misunderstandings exacerbated by the presence of a bumbling interpreter, Percy, who is supposed to assist him but does not speak French. As the story progresses, the situation becomes more chaotic, leading to humorous exchanges and mistaken identities until the truth is revealed. Ultimately, the farce captures the essence of miscommunication and the often comical nature of human relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
