The Triumph of Love
Venez au théâtre! Theater outing with French and Francophone Studies to see The Triumph of Love (Le Triomphe de l’amour)

March 27, 2025

Sign up for a FREE ticket to see the "The Triumph of Love" at the Huntington Theatre in Boston, 264 Huntington Ave. Boston, MA 02115

Love takes center stage in this uproarious classic French comedy by 18th century playwright Pierre Carlet de Marivaux. A clever princess is smitten at first sight – but to win her prince, she must woo him in disguise. Mistaken identities, hilarious complications and deeply felt desire collide head on with Rationalist Philosophy – and surprising romantic entanglements ensue! Artistic Director Loretta Greco stages Stephen Wadsworth’s magnificent adaptation which inspired a passion for Marivaux in America anew.

 Contact Professor Catherine Theobold to sign-up for this event.
