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

The critic of Le Figaro newspaper (at the time of the release - 1892), Henry Fouquier, considered the play "perhaps the most solidly constructed and with the most ingenious plot of all the plays Maurice Feydeau has offered us" and that Feydeau crafted a farce with comedy and fantasy. A comment from the same newspaper said: "All evening long, I saw nothing but shining faces, beautiful eyes wet with tears of joy, shoulders shaking with so much laughter, and many applause."
After Feydeau's death in 1921, his plays suffered years of neglect until interest in them was 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 so far 15 different productions of the play have been performed in Paris and other cities in France, including a 2007 production at the Théâtre Montparnasse, which was filmed for television and dozens of other adaptations worldwide.
Over time, the play has been taken up and presented successfully at some of the world's most successful theaters. First in Berlin in 1893. An English adaptation, "His Little Dodge," was presented in London in 1896, running for 81 performances. The same version was given in New York the following year by Edward E. Rice's company. An adaptation called "Monsieur Rebadier's System" was presented to the U.S. public in 1979, with Roderick Cook as 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 meridians of the world.
