Poor Bitos! Or The Masked Dinner by Jean Anouilh, directed by Thierry Harcourt

Poor Bitos! Or The Masked Dinner

Introduction

A scathing, cruelly triumphant comedy.

André Bitos is a son of the people who becomes France’s deputy public prosecutor. In this capacity, he creates a reign of terror in the aftermath of the Liberation, becoming a cruel official. Returning to the small, provincial town where he was born, he is invited by some former classmates, members of good society, to a “masked dinner”, where guests must each portray a figure from the French Revolution. Bitos will be Robespierre. But the evening is cover for a trap: in a parallel with the Terror and the Purge, the plan is to get Bitos drunk and reveal Tartuffe “or the Imposter” while disguised as the Incorruptible, all the better to humiliate him and destroy his career.
