Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'The Guardsman: A Comedy in Three Acts' is a witty and sophisticated exploration of jealousy, artifice, and the thin line between performance and reality. Written by the celebrated Hungarian playwright Franz Molnar, this play delves into the lives of a renowned acting couple whose marriage is strained by the husband's consuming suspicion. Driven by a desperate need to test his wife's fidelity, the Actor devises an elaborate scheme: he disguises himself as a dashing Russian Guardsman to woo her in secret.What follows is a brilliant comedy of manners that questions whether the wife truly recognizes her husband or if she is simply playing along with his theatrical deception. As the husband oscillates between his roles as the jealous spouse and the romantic suitor, the play examines the nature of identity and the inherent drama of romantic relationships. Known for its sharp dialogue and psychological depth, 'The Guardsman' remains a cornerstone of early 20th-century European drama. It offers a captivating look at the complexities of the human heart and the performative nature of social life, making it a timeless piece for students of theater and lovers of classic comedy alike.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
