Its springtime in Paris, 1738. Metromania, the poetry craze, is all the rage. Damis, a young, would-be poet with a serious case of verse-mania falls for a mysterious poetess from Breton. She turns out to be none other than a wealthy gentleman with a touch of the mania himselflooking to unload his sexy but dimwitted daughterwho also just happens to be cuckoo for couplets. Soon scheming servants, verbal acrobatics, and mistaken identities launch a breathless series of twists and turns in this breezy translaptation of a rediscovered French farce by comedic master David Ives (The Liar, Venus in Fur, All in the Timing).Frisky, competitive wordplay and high-octane mix ups ...almost criminally enjoyable. Washington PostIves [is] wizardly magical and funny a master of language. He uses words for their meanings, sounds and associations, spinning conceits of a sort Ive not seen or heard before. Hes an original. The New York Times
