Outrageous Women Lady MacBeth and Other French Plays

These four short French plays run the gamut from tragedy to satire, from highly artificial comedy to Naturalism, and present Eve, the Eternal Woman, in a variety of poses, none of them very flattering. Contents: Lady MacBeth, by Julius Le Sire; Zubiri, by Georges de Porto Riche, based on a tale by Victor Hugo; A False Conversation, by Theophile Gautier; and Widow!, by Henri Becque. None of these ladies are shrinking violets! Great drama in small packages."
