WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The King of France and his best buds swear off romance and withdraw into their studies...until some girls show up.

In the end, the real world intrudes and brings everyone back to earth, but not even a cold winter blast manages to chill the warmth of this beguiling play.

They're all just about to take a vow to devote themselves to their int[...]
