«L'île des esclaves» is the one-act comedy by Marivaux, edited by Jean-Marie Goulemot, in a Le Livre de Poche paperback (90 pp., in French).
After a shipwreck, a coquette and a fop arrive on an island governed by fugitive slaves. They lose their freedom and their now-emancipated slaves subject them to trials to make them feel the evils of slavery. The social inversion is political and also playful: the servants caricature their masters and blunder as they take their place.
Play performed in 1725 at the Théâtre-Italien; belongs to the Le Théâtre de Poche collection and was published in 1999.
For literature students and readers interested in classical French theater.
