	Martin Guerre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Martin Guerre, a French peasant of the 16th century, was at the center of a famous case of imposture.
		Martin Daguerre was born around 1524 in the Basque town of Hendaye.
		The new Martin eloquently argued his case, and the judges in Toulouse tended to believe his version of the story: that Bertrande was pressured to perjury by the greedy Pierre Guerre.

	Martin Guerre's Homecoming
		The Return of Martin Guerre relates the true story of Martin Guerre, a sixteenth century French peasant whose identity is stolen by a clever usurper while he is away from home, and the subsequent reclaiming of his identity upon his return.
		Martin and Bertrande were married by arrangement at a young age, and their ten-year union was fraught with problems, not the least of these being that Martin was impotent for the first eight years.
		By the time he arrives to claim the role of Martin Guerre, du Tilh’s knowledge of the intimate details of Martin’s life, combined with his appearance, acting ability, and Bertrande’s easy acceptance, is enough to convince nearly everyone in the village that the true Martin Guerre has finally returned.

		She was married unusually and unaccustomedly young to the true Martin Guerre at the age of ten.
		Martin Guerre’s gender had assisted this transformation by allowing him into social groups that otherwise women would not be allowed into.
		Pansette’s first encounter with Martin’s friends was the possible mis-recognition of Martin Guerre a few miles away from Artigat, and was the seed that gave his mind a thought process not ended until a noose drained all life from him years later.

		Martin showered caresses on his son, and spoke of the time when he carried him as a baby in the garden, lifting him up to the fruit trees, so that he could reach and try to bite the fruit.
		Martin thought it mere caprice; he observed her loss of colour, her hollow cheeks, and concluded that age was impairing her beauty, and became less attentive to her.
		The two Martin Guerres were then confronted without changing the situation in the least; the first showing the same assurance, the same bold and confident bearing; while the second, calling on God and men to bear witness to his sincerity, deplored his misfortune in the most pathetic terms.

	'Martin Guerre' lacks what made 'Les Mis' great
		"Martin Guerre" is more like a trashy novelette than an epic romance; it demands a score that treats the subject matter with an appropriate amount of importance.
		Martin Guerre refuses to consummate his marriage with Bertrande, and this sends the entire town into pandemonium.
		Martin dies at war, for now, and his friend Arnaud comes back to the village and takes Bertrande as his wife, under the assumed name of "Martin." Nobody seems to notice the impostor, not even Martin's family.

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - Seattle: Stop Kiss and Martin Guerre 2/14/00
		Since Martin Guerre has gone through as many alterations and versions as The Scarlet Pimpernel, I figured I would give it the benefit of the doubt, go in with an open mind, and hopefully be pleasantly surprised, as I was with Jekyll and Hyde a few months earlier.
		Seeing Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and Martin Guerre in a row highlights not only the similarities between the shows, especially in regards to music, but also displays how the authors are moving backwards rather than forwards in their craft, with Les Miserables being the pinnacle of their work.
		Martin Guerre is the first of their shows not to be based on an existing novel, but upon an actual court case which occurred in Artigat in 1560.

	Washingtonpost.com: 'Martin Guerre': Musical Makes A Muddle Of Mystery
		The show is based on the same French legend as the 1982 movie "The Return of Martin Guerre": In 16th-century France, a man comes to the village of Artigat claiming to be the same Martin Guerre who deserted his wife there seven years ago.
		The insistence of the village on the Guerres' producing a child becomes inadvertently comic, with people surrounding the house the first night Arnaud is there to make sure he stays and does his duty.
		Benoit later comes in handy in resolving a troublesome plot point: He dashes from one side of the stage to the other, pausing only to whack a character to death with the stick that is all that remains of his beloved scarecrow (Don't ask).

		This Pansette is actually the hero of the story, for he soon acquired such intimate knowledge of Martin Guerre's past that he surreptitiously decided to try his hand at assuming the identity of his friend.
		But the fresh Martin Guerre's new-found abilities did not extend to captivating various other kin who had established a hold on Bertrande's property while she was a single mother.

	Martin Guerre
		Martin Guerre grew pale, and began a conversation with the pretty Rose, his neighbour.
		Bertrande drew back with an instinct of terror as soon as she saw him, for his expression was at once wicked and joyful-an expression of gratified hate, of mingled rage and triumph, and his smile was terrible to behold.
		Martin was then endeavouring to sell a part of his property, and this necessitated frequent interviews with the lawyers of the neighbouring town.

		MARTIN GUERRE by Alexandre Dumas, Pere We are sometimes astonished at the striking resemblance existing between two persons who are absolute strangers to each other, but in fact it is the opposite which ought to surprise us.
		He attributed the whole charge to the machinations of his uncle, Pierre Guerre; an old man, he said, who, being governed entirely by avarice and the desire of revenge, now disputed his name arid rights, in order the better to deprive him of his property, which might be worth from sixteen to eighteen hundred livres.
		In order to sustain her part and to save the honour o£ her children, she must treat this man as her husband and appear submissive and repentant; she must show him entire confidence, as the only means of rehabilitating him and lulling the vigilance of justice.

	Martin Guerre
		In 1560, a man calling himself Martin Guerre was put on trial as an impostor in south-western France.
		The film is in the main faithful to the contemporary accounts of the trial and the history of Martin Guerre that they contained.
		And, while it displays certain film-making conventions that make for a less complex and less 'authentic' narrative than might have been possible, and certainly desirable from the historian's point of view, it was made with a genuine respect and concern for the humanity of its historical subjects, the sixteenth-century French peasantry and their culture.

		Rather than succumbing to what would have seemed a timely death, the increasingly "floppy" Martin Guerre was hurried out of London in the summer of 1998 and totally pulled apart, this time not by canine critics, but by the producers themselves.
		The music also suffered some serious weight loss--the Martin Guerre pit orchestra, once the largest in the West End, was trimmed till it fitted into a pair of medium flight cases--a handful of instrumentalists serving as icing for the staple portions of programmed keyboard arrangements.
		The first time I heard Martin Guerre was when I bought the tape of the original London Cast recording.

		It was supposed to be the last in Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's trilogy of worldwide hits following Les Misérables and Miss Saigon, but Martin Guerre had a bumpy road between its West End debut in 1996 and its aborted attempt to open on Broadway in spring 2000.
		Onstage, this version of Martin Guerre was dreary, boring, and painful to sit through.
		The lyrics in "Miss Saigon" were truly stupid (how many words can you rhyme with "ass"?), but the "Martin Guerre" lyrics are just as bad--the lyrics in "Martin Guerre" are obviously not the work of someone for whom English is his first language.
