Three French comedies focusing on Parisian women and their intricate love lives. MIMI PINSON, by Jean Bayard and Philippe Dumanoir, is a carefree, self-supporting, independent woman. She's a grisette (working girl) who loves as she pleases, doesn't care about money, and is both happy and charming in her simple life. THE TYPE YOU DON'T MARRY, by Édouard Pailleron, tells the tale of the girl Adrienne, who after being a mistress for six years, finally succeeds in marrying her lover. Love triumphs over morality, as the lover gives up a potentially good marriage and his family to remain with the woman he loves. MARRIED SINCE NOON, by William Busnach and Armand Liorat, is a monologue by a girl, Estelle, who's just married. She's a bit naïve and volatile, but utterly charming in her simplicity. Three very funny plays that could still be presented today!
