French without tears

The action of the play revolves around a group of male friends who have been sent to a 'cram school' in France to help prepare them for their exams. But the boys are more interested in chasing girls than learning French. All of them are lured in by and simultaneously disdainful of the flirtatious and confident Diana, who proceeds to seduce each of them in turn. The men claim that she is the one distracting them from the task at hand, and thus potentially damaging their future careers. The play is a portrait of a group of men caught between their adolescent desires and the threat of looming adulthood.
