La Surprise de l'amour is a three-act romantic comedy by French playwright Marivaux. Its title is usually translated into English as The Surprise of Love. La Surprise de l'amour was first performed 3 May 1722 by the Comédie Italienne at the Hotel de Bourgogne in Paris. In this play, a man and a woman who've sworn off love are tricked by their servants into falling in love with each other. Like many of Marivaux's other comedies, La Surprise de l'amour makes use of stock characters from the Commedia dell'arte. In this play, Arlequin and Columbine are featured. Théophile Gautier considered this to be Marivaux's finest work. Source: Wikipedia (en)
