Three delightful French plays about different aspects of Love. ZENEIDA, by Louis de Cahusac, is a fairy tale about love being blind--but says that true love can happen anyway, regardless of looks. It's a story filled with charm and grace. THE FOLLIES OF LOVE, by Jean-Fran?ois de Regnard, demonstrates how far love will go to have its way. The heroine, who's being oppressed by her aged tutor, Albert, goes to emotional extremes, feigning madness, to escape his unwanted affections. THE CAT WHO TURNED INTO A WOMAN, by Eug?ne Scribe, is a light-hearted comedy about a young man who falls in love with his cat, believing that she's turned into a woman. But the heroine just continues chasing around a ball of twine and licking cream from her fingers. Great fun! Love is eternal, these dramas suggest, and never ceases to be interesting and compelling (and entertaining!) to the human animal.
