The Triple Marriage is a play written by the French playwright Philippe N�����ricault Destouches. It was first performed in 1725 and is a comedy of manners that satirizes the social conventions of the time. The play revolves around the story of a young woman named Isabelle who is courted by three suitors: a wealthy merchant, a nobleman, and a soldier. Isabelle is torn between the three men and cannot decide whom to marry. Her father, who is eager to see her married off, comes up with a plan to have her marry all three men in a triple marriage. The rest of the play follows the consequences of this unusual arrangement and the various complications that arise from it. The Triple Marriage is a witty and entertaining play that pokes fun at the absurdity of the social norms of the time.Walter Heaven is my witness, I have tried to conquer my distaste and to respond in kind to such a soft and obliging proceeding; if it still depended on me to comply with your wishes in this--but you force me to tell you, before the whole world, that I am not free and my word is pledged forever.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
