The communication will focus on the analysis of three adaptations of comedias composed by three female playwrights and performed on the stage of the Parisian Palais-Royal theatre by the two companies, French and Italian, that shared the theatre until 1673. These were the two comedies by Brigida Bianchi and Orsola Cortesi Biancolelli staged in the 1660s by the Italian company of the Ancien Théâtre Italien, and the tragicomedy Le Favori by Marie-Catherine Desjardins, performed in 1665 by Molière's company. The three plays, which have never been analysed together, have common characteristics: they were composed by female playwrights, a very rare case in seventeenth-century French theatre; they are late adaptations of Spanish comedias, because they belong to a period when the fashion for Spanish theatre was said to have ended; they are theatrical adaptations, created for the stage of the two most important Parisian comic companies.
