«L'Île des esclaves» is the one-act comedy by Pierre de Marivaux, published by Coédition Belin/Gallimard in paperback (160 pages, in French).
A shipwreck brings two pairs of masters and servants to an island where a law forces them to swap roles. The masters must obey their servants and submit to their mockery and revenge; thus the play satirises social inequality and the games of power and seduction. Marivaux combines agile comedy and moral reflection on the human condition and theatre.
Classico Lycée collection. 2020 edition with complete text, pedagogical dossier and material for the French Bac programme; the play was first performed in 1725.
Aimed at secondary school (lycée) students preparing for the Bac and readers of classical French theatre.
