A LITTLE LEGAL FARCE BY MARCEL ACHARD, ADAPTED BY HARRY KURNITZ
PRODUCED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

|
|
A ditzy French parlormaid stands accused of murdering her fiery Latin lover. It's an open and shut case in the eyes of everyone except Sevigne, a new young magistrate who believes that justice should be blind to money, power and politics. But will he succeed in teasing the truth from the air-headed maid, her pompous aristocratic boss and his icy society wife? "A bubbling, saucy comedy...A light, tasty souffle." - N.Y. Times

|
Paul Sévigné: Examining magistrate. Attractive and well dressed, he wears horn-rimmed glasses when reading to make him more scholarly that tends to recede when he takes them off. Married to Antoinette. (Age: 35)
|
Morestan: Clerk to Sévigné. Hardened and cynical by his years in the judicial service. (Age: 35)
|
Lablache: Paul's superior in the Court system. He wants Josefa convicted without hesitation.
|
Antoinette Sévigné: Paul's wife. Quite attractive and a fashionista of the time period - really into Christian Dior and Coco Chanel, etc.
|
Josefa Lantenay: Parlor maid accused of the murder of her lover, the Beaurevers' chauffeur. Pretty, delicate looking as one would not expect in one whom until recently was an farm-girl. Her manner and speech are candid, never common or vulgar, though her voice is not educated or affected. (Age: 20-30)
|
Dominique Beaurevers: Aristocratic, beautiful, chic, and carries the situation with an air of great gaiety. (Age: 40-50)
|
Benjamin Beaurevers: Banker, aristocratic, supremely elegant, quite handsome, and very sure of himself. He makes no effort to conform to surroundings that are foreign to him. (Age: 40-50)
|
Guard: (Age: 20+)
