About this eBook

Author Du Veuzit, Max, 1886-1952
Title L'Aumone
Credits Produced by Daniel Fromont
Summary "L'Aumone" by Max Du Veuzit is a one-act comedy written in the early 20th century. The play explores themes of social class, compassion, and familial ties, set against the backdrop of a rural French community. It follows characters who represent different aspects of society, centered around the encounter between a wandering vagabond and a young woman, Jeanne. The storyline unfolds in a countryside kitchen, where Jeanne, along with her mother, Madame Servois, engages in conversation about a recent misfortune befalling a neighbor. A vagabond enters, seeking water, which leads to a poignant exchange with Jeanne. As the vagabond reveals his troubled past and expresses a desire for redemption, he inadvertently discloses that he is indeed Jeanne's long-lost father. This revelation complicates Jeanne's understanding of familial bonds, as her feelings of pity and compassion clash with the reality of her father's choices that led to their separation. Just as she begins to empathize with him, the situation becomes urgent when her potential suitor, Morand, returns, culminating in a decision that reflects the complexities of love, duty, and social acceptance.
