Theater/Comedy

- PREMIERE „The Perfect System"-

June 4, 2025 at 7:00 PM

Pitesti Trade Unions Cultural House

The theater/comedy play „The Perfect System" is an adaptation of „The Ribadier System", a delightful three-act comedy by Georges Feydeau and Maurice Hennequin, first staged in November 1892. The main theme is the husband's scheme to escape the conjugal home by hypnotizing his wife.

Our late artist and director Ion Caramitru wished to direct this play and coincidentally, another director with Aromanian roots, Toma Enache staged the author's play, Georges Feydeau, who is extremely famous in our country for another masterpiece „A 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 critic from Le Figaro (at the time of the premiere – 1892), Henry Fouquier, considered the play to be „perhaps the most solidly constructed and with the most ingenious plot among all the plays that Maurice Feydeau has given us" and that Feydeau has woven a farce with comedy and fantasy. A commentary from the same newspaper stated: „I saw, from one end of the evening to the other, only shining faces, beautiful eyes moist with tears of joy, shoulders shaken by so much laughter and a lot of applause".

After Feydeau's death in 1921, his plays suffered years of oblivion 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" reports that so far there have been 15 different productions of the play in Paris and other cities in France, including a 2007 production at Théâtre Montparnasse, which was filmed for television and many other adaptations around the world.

Over time, the play has been taken and successfully presented at the most successful theaters in the world. First in Berlin in 1893. An English adaptation, „His Little Dodge", was presented in London in 1896 running 81 performances. The same version was given in New York the following year by Edward E. Rice's company. An adaptation named „Monsieur Rebadier's System" was offered to the audience in the USA, in 1979, with Roderick Cook in the role of Ribadier. A 2009 version titled „Where There's a Will", was presented in a British tour with the direction of the great British director Sir Peter Reginald Frederick Hall, receiving warm reviews. To date, the play has been successfully staged across all meridians of the world.
