The Metromaniacs

For the first time together in one volume comes "The David Ives Trilogy." David Ives's show-stopping series of rediscover4ed masterpieces of French comedy, all three commissioned by the Shakespeare Theatre Company . "The Heir Apparent," :The Liar," and "The Metromaniacs" together span nearly a century of French comedy from 1643 to 1738, all reinvigorated through Ives's inimitable ryhmed-verse couplets, ingeniously witty wordplay, and diabolically cleaver dramaturgy.
