THE MAD BID by Madame Ulrich, newly translated by Rebecca Maxfield, a play reading.
Meet the most popular man in Paris: he’s hot, he’s rich, he’s stylish, and he doesn’t exist. “He” is Angélique, in disguise to court Madame Argante, who has refused to let her son Éraste and Angélique get married. It’s go time: before the end of the day, the young couple will have enlisted a bunch of other people in increasingly ridiculous disguises, plus a whole lot of money, for true love to come out on top.
