“The Romanizza Company has chosen to bring us into the comic book universe of Jean-Claude Danaud. With Casanova’s Babies, he signs one of his most original plays. …It’s funny and wicked. This sharp-tongued play offers delightful surprises.” Jean-Louis Châles, La semaine des spectacles
A modern-day Casanova, a ladies’ man, is struck by the incongruous yet persistent desire to be… a father. He decides to hire the services of a professional surrogate mother, Rebecca. Rated 18/20 for her “sensuality.” That helps! And the photo novel fan becomes pregnant quickly. So, things are looking good. Well… no, it quickly gets complicated! Casanova doesn’t stop at one inconsistency since he then falls in love. The chosen one, Christina, met at the ice cream parlor, receives a much more mediocre rating, but that doesn’t matter: she melted him! And then everything really gets complicated because ice cream parlor girls have nothing tart about them except their pretty little dresses… and surrogate mothers sell their wombs but sometimes give their hearts… Oh, poor Casanova!
