Brisebarre) Un tigre, 1849: first page (by Mm. Édouard Brisebarre et Marc-Michel) Wikipedia, 1 February 2017 (Édouard Brisebarre; Edouard-Louis-Alexandre Brisebarre (Paris, 12 February 1815--17 December 1871, 10th arrondissement of Paris) was an 19th-century French playwright; after he studied at the Lycée Charlemagne, Brisebarre worked as a clerk by a lawyer and obtained the post of tax collector, but was laid off almost immediately and became an actor; he didn't succeed in that occupation either and tried his hand at writing; he was immediately acclaimed by the public with his enigma La fiole de Cagliostro (1835); Brisebarre composed more than a hundred pieces, mostly in collaboration with other authors, some dramas, but mostly vaudevilles where the situation comedy and words with double meanings often go alongside outright farce) |
