Translated by Barrett H. (Barrett Harper) Clark
The Art of Being Bored: A Comedy in Three Acts, written by Edouard Pailleron and first published in 1914, is a satirical play set in the drawing-room of Madame de Céran's château in Paris. It explores the lives of Paul and Jeanne, a newlywed couple, as they navigate the superficialities and societal expectations of high society. The play humorously critiques the ennui and artifice of social interactions among various characters, reflecting the complexities of ambition and decorum in early 20th-century French life.
