Synopsis of the pieces:

Our fiance
The young widow Henrieta is crashing an evening party. She is anticipating Mr D’Neriz, seriously hoping that he would propose to her.
Her cousin Valentine arrives, hurrying to share her love secret from the previous party. Being in love and excited, she mentions the name of the same gentleman.

Through the window
“My wife is very beautiful and horribly jealous. She is jealous even of our servant Rosa”, claims Hector.
Hmmm. The wife kicks out the servant and goes to her mother. One evening a strange woman rings on the door of the lonely Hector.

Love and piano
How to make your way in the capital? Very simple – if you are a young man from the province with a fine physique, the only thing you have to do is find the address of a famous actress and to present yourself to her. Surely, she will get attracted to you. But if you are a young girl from a rich family and you want to make a breakthrough in art, you have to take lessons from a renowned professor, minding the price is not too high. The important thing in both cases is that the address and names are very correct, otherwise big mistakes and troubles happen.

More information about the author:
Georges Feydeau, (December 8, 1862 - June 5, 1921) was a French playwright of the era known as La Belle Epoque. He was known for his many lively farces. Though critics at the time dismissed Feydeau's works as light entertainment, he is now recognized as one of the great French playwrights of his era. Some have even gone so far as to refer to him as the "Bach of his form." His plays are seen today as precursors to Surrealist and Dada theatre, and the Theatre of the Absurd. His plays have been continuously revived and are still widely performed today.
Despite being a phenomenally successful playwright, his propensity for high living (he had a table permanently reserved for him at Maxim's), gambling and the failure of his marriage were to lead to financial difficulties.
During the winter of 1918 Feydeau contracted syphilis and slowly descended into madness in the remaining years of his life. He is buried in Cimetiere de Montmartre, in Paris.
