Edouard-Louis-Alexandre Brisebarre
Edouard-Louis-Alexandre Brisebarre (born February 12, 1818 in Paris , † December 17, 1871 there ) was a French theater poet.
Brisebarre attended the Lycée Charlemagne , was a clerk for a lawyer for a while, was later given a tax collector's position, which he soon lost again, and was now among the actors. Since he had no luck here either , he tried his hand at being a dramatic poet and achieved a brilliant success with his first play: La fiole de Cagliostro (1835).
Since then, Brisebarre has delivered over 100 pieces, mostly in collaboration with other authors, some of them dramas, but mostly vaudevilles of the genre in which the joke touches the bogus and most often consists only of the ambiguity of the situations and the language. We name the better known:
- La Vie en partie double (1845);
-
Un tigre du Bengale (1849);
- German: A Bengal tiger ;
- Drinn-Drinn (1851);
- Rose Bernard , Drama (1857);
- Les Ménages de Paris, (1859);
- Les portiers (1860);
- Le Garçon de ferme , Drama (1861);
- Maison Saladier (1861);
- Monsieur de la Raclée (1862); the drama given countless times
- Leonard (1863); the comedies:
- La Vache enragée (1865) and
- Les Rentiers (1867);
- Le musicien des rues (1866) and
- Les Pauvres filles (1867).
Brisebarre edited Les Drames de la vie (1860, 2 vol.) With Eugène Nus . He died in Paris on December 17, 1871.
