Ring Round the Moon

The twists and turns of Jean Anouilh’s romantic comedy, Ring Round the Moon, make for great fun. Identical twin brothers — one scheming and the other shy — compete for the attention of a beautiful heiress. Hugo is as devious as his brother Frederic is clueless, and he has only this one night to stop Frederic’s engagement. Hugo convinces a breathtakingly beautiful ballerina to charm his brother, and in the process unleashes a chain of events that even he can’t foresee.

Passionate tangos, a series of quick entrances and exits, a cat fight between rival beauties — these are just some of the highlights of Ring Round the Moon. An overlooked gem by the most popular French dramatist of the twentieth century!
