''Business is business'' ((フランス語:Les affaires sont les affaires)) is a French comedy in three acts, by the novelist and playwright Octave Mirbeau, performed in April 1903 on the stage of Comédie-Française, in Paris, and worldwide acclaimed, especially in Russia, Germany and United States.〔Pierre Michel & J.-F. Nivet, ''Octave Mirbeau, l'imprécateur au cœur fidèle'', Librairie Séguier, 1990, p. 709-723.〕 An English-language adaption by Sydney Grundy was produced in London in 1905. An English translation, by Richard Hands, has been published by Intellect Books : ''Two Plays: “Business is Business” and “Charity”'', January 2012, 147 pages (ISBN 9781841504865). ==Comedy of manners==
The work is a classical comedy of manners with characters, in the tradition of Molière,〔Philippe Baron, « La Technique dramatique d'Octave Mirbeau », in ''Octave Mirbeau'', Presses de l'Université d'Angers, 1992, pp. 369-377.〕 in which Mirbeau criticizes the French society of the Third Republic and the world of business as a legal kind of gangsterism.〔Philippe Baron, « ''Les Corbeaux'', d’Henry Becque, et ''Les affaires sont les affaires'', d’Octave Mirbeau », ''Cahiers Octave Mirbeau'', n° 8, 2001, p. 199-210.〕 When the play was presented in Paris during the 1994-5 season (400 performances), it was commented that business and scandals are no different today than they were 100 years ago.
