Biography

Pierre Wolff wrote numerous plays, as well as some libretti for operettas. He was the nephew of journalist Albert Wolff. His dramas were characterized by bitingly ironic observation of contemporary life, and by witty dialogue.^[1] One of his earliest plays, Jacques Bouchard (1890) which was performed at Théâtre Libre, was such a flop that even his famous uncle lambasted it, but his subsequent plays were received with enthusiasm.^[2] He had great success with the adultery-themed comedy Le Secret de Polichinelle (The Secret of Pulcinella),^[3] which played in over 80 cities including in the United States, and also with Le Ruisseau.^[5] Nazimova performed in Les Marionnettes when it was produced in the United States.^[4]
