Présentation de l'éditeur

In this wildly distinctive comedy set in 17th-century France, a vulgar and impossibly self-obsessed writer/perfomer attempts to win the favour of a Royal Personage and ignominiously oust his high-minded rival. All is accomplished in a virtuoso cascade of rhyming couplets! La Bete won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy when it first opened in London in 1992, with Alan Cumming in the lead. It was revived in London's West End in 2010 with a cast including Mark Rylance, Joanna Lumley and David Hyde Pierce.
