The University of Notre Dames Department of Film, Television and Theatre (FTT) will present Pierre MarivauxsThe DisputeNov. 11 to 15 (Tuesday to Saturday) at 7:30 p.m., and Nov. 16 (Sunday) at 2:30 p.m., in the Decio Mainstage Theatre of the Universitys DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

Admission is $15 for the general public; $12 for faculty, staff and seniors; and $10 for students. Ticket information is available at the performing arts center box office or by calling 574-631-2800 or at http://performingarts.nd.edu on the Web.

Directed by FTT associate professional specialist Siiri Scott,The Disputeis an Enlightenment-era comedy of human nature that strives to answer the question: Are men or women more inherently unfaithful? To explore this question, a royal society party host reveals an experiment involving the release of two young men and two young women, each raised in complete isolation, into a forest to commingle for the first time. What follows is a complex meditation on the geneses of love and betrayal.

Marivaux, arguably the most important French playwright of the 18th century, wrote for both the Comédie-Française and the Comédie-Italienne.The Disputewas translated by Gideon Lester.
