Our late artist and director Ion Caramitru wished to direct this play, and coincidentally, another director with Aromanian roots, Toma Enache, has staged the work of the author Georges Feydeau, who is extremely well-known in our country for another masterpiece "La puce à l'oreille - The Flea in Her Ear".
Georges Feydeau (1862 - 1921) was a French playwright from the period known as La Belle Époque, known for his farces and vaudevilles.

The Le Figaro newspaper critic (at the time of the launch – 1892), Henry Fouquier, considered the play "perhaps the best constructed and with the most ingenious plot of all the plays Maurice Feydeau has offered us" and that Feydeau festooned a farce with comedy and fantasy. A comment from the same newspaper said: "From one end of the evening to the other, I saw only radiant faces, beautiful eyes moist with tears of joy, shoulders shaking with so much laughter, and much applause".
After Feydeau's death in 1921, his plays suffered years of neglect until interest in them revived in the 1940s. Le Système Ribadier was restaged in 1963 in a production directed by Jacques François. The online magazine "Les Archives du Spectacle" notes that 15 different productions of the play have been performed so far in Paris and other cities in France, including a 2007 production at the Théâtre Montparnasse, which was filmed for television, along with dozens of adaptations worldwide.
Over time, the play has been taken up and successfully presented at the most successful theaters in the world. For the first time in Berlin in 1893. An English adaptation, "His Little Dodge," was presented in London in 1896, running for 81 performances. The same version was staged in New York the following year by Edward E. Rice's company. An adaptation named "Monsieur Ribadier's System" was offered to the public in the USA in 1979, with Roderick Cook in the role of Ribadier. A 2009 version titled "Where There's a Will" was presented on a British tour directed by the great British director Sir Peter Reginald Frederick Hall, receiving very warm reviews. To date, the play has been successfully performed on all continents.
