(Barrett Harper) 1890 1953 Clark, Barrett Harper 15014914 The Romancers: A Comedy in Three Acts Produced by Kent Cooper "The Romancers: A Comedy in Three Acts" by Edmond Rostand is a romantic comedy written in the late 19th century. Known for its poetic style and engaging plot, the play explores the themes of love and familial conflict, particularly through the lens of two young lovers whose fathers harbor a long-standing feud. This conflict serves as an obstacle in the blossoming romance of the protagonists, Sylvette and Percinet, who embody the romantic ideals reminiscent of Shakespearean characters. The storyline unfolds as Sylvette and Percinet fall in love despite their fathers' enmity and the barriers it creates. They initially meet secretly by an old wall dividing their families' properties, sharing poetic sentiments and dreams of overcoming their fathers' hatred. Unbeknownst to them, the fathers, Bergamin and Pasquinot, conspire to arrange their marriage while feigning animosity to allow their children to explore their feelings. The play features comedic twists, including a fake abduction meant to spark romance, leading to a series of misunderstandings. Ultimately, the families reconcile once the truth is revealed, affirming that true love can transcend even the strongest of feuds. As the tale concludes, the lovers discover that the essence of romance lies not in grand gestures or arranged plots, but in the sincerity of their feelings for each other.
