Description
 
Here, for the first time side-by-side in both French and English are five of Louis Duranty's wildly comic one act plays which were performed at his puppet theatre in the Tuilleries Garden in Paris beginning in 1861. The plays featured the French versions of ancient Commedia dell'arte characters: handsome Harlequin, wealthy doddering Cassandre, the whiteface clown Pierrot, and of course, Duranty's star anti-hero, the wicked and terrible Polichinelle - Gallic cousin of the English Punch.
