Well-made play

Japanese: ウェルメード・プレー(英語表記)well‐made play
Well-made play
In French, pièce bien faite literally means "well-constructed play," but it usually refers to a play with a tight structure, in which the plot progresses through skillfully constructed situations rather than through the personalities of the characters. It was established in 19th century France, and its main writers include Eugène Scribe, V. Sardou, A. Dumas the Younger, and Émile Augier. In general, the story unfolds in a way that unsettles and surprises the audience, as the story progresses, with the conclusion usually conforming to established moral values.

フランス語ではpièce bien faiteといい,文字どおりには〈よく作られた戯曲〉を意味するが,普通は,緊密な構成をもち,人物の個性よりも巧みに組み立てられた状況によってプロットが進行する戯曲を指す。19世紀のフランスで確立し,スクリーブEugène Scribe,V.サルドゥー,A.デュマ(子),オージエÉmile Augierなどをおもな書き手とする。おおむね,過去の秘密がしだいに明らかになって中心人物の現在の生活に決定的な影響を及ぼすという物語を,観客を不安がらせたり驚かせたりしながら進行させ,また,結末は既成の道徳観に合致するのが普通である。
