De Racine, Jean 1639-1699 creator Bogaert, Abraham 1663-1727 text utu 2006 monographic nl 1 online resource : multiple file formats "De Pleiters" by Jean Racine is a comedy written in 1668 and published in 1669. Racine's only comedic work, it reimagines Aristophanes' "The Wasps" without political overtones. The play centers on Dandin, a senile retired judge obsessed with holding trials, and Chicanneau, a bourgeois consumed by lawsuits. Amid this absurd legal madness, Dandin's son Léandre pursues romance with Chicanneau's daughter Isabelle. Written between his tragic masterpieces, this farce surprised audiences with its satirical take on litigationmania. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
