Yvonne, Princess of Burgund
In his brilliant farce, Witold Gombrowicz attacks Society’s decadence and moral double standards. Prince Philipp, bored by the court and its endless routine, chooses Yvonne, an ugly and silent girl, as his fiancée. His parents, Queen Margarete and King Ignatz, are appalled at the engagement. Yvonne's refusal to speak, despite repeated attempts to make her break her silence, causes even more provocation. As tension at the court arises, horrifying maneuvers against Yvonne are secretly planned.
