Princess Zoubaroff

Princess Zoubaroff

by Ronald Firbank

The Princess Zoubaroff is a satirical comedy set in Florence, Italy, during the early 20th century. The play follows the tumultuous lives of a group of characters, including Enid and Eric, a newly married couple, as they navigate the complexities of their relationships and confront the expectations of English society. Through witty dialogue and absurd situations, Firbank explores themes of love, marriage, religion, and sexuality, exposing the hypocrisy and shallowness of the upper class. Princess Zena Zoubaroff, a charismatic and enigmatic woman, arrives in Florence with plans to found a convent, disrupting the lives of those around her and challenging their assumptions about faith and tradition.
