DOUBLE BILL: Une éducation
manquée & La cambiale di matrimonio
Une éducation manquée:
(A defective education)
Une éducation manquée is set in eighteenth-century Paris and tells the story
of Gontran, whose education has been remarkably thorough – except in
one important arena: having just married his fiancée Hélène, Gontran finds
himself unsure of what is supposed to happen next… With a musical score
that sparkles with wit, vivacity and melodic spontaneity, this charming
comedy of wedding-night protocol is crying out to be rediscovered.
La cambiale di matrimonio:
(The marriage contract)
The catalyst for the events in La cambiale di matrimonio is the blank
matrimonial bill, which is sent to an English merchant Tobias Mill by an
eccentric Canadian businessman, Mr Slook. What follows sees Mill try to
marry off his daughter against her wishes (of course), a heroic attempt
to prevent the union by her penniless lover, and the arrival of Slook who
increasingly wishes he had just stayed at home as the plot hurtles towards its
denouement. Impressively paced and composed with vivid invention
Two enchanting portrayals of the consequences and comedy of innocent
young love – the perfect marriage.
