''Les Plaideurs'', or ''The Litigants'', written in 1668 and published in 1669, is a comedy in three acts with respectively 8, 14, and 4 scenes in Alexandrine verse by Jean Racine. It is the only comedy he wrote. It was inspired by ''The Wasps'' by Aristophanes, but Racine removed all political significance. His play, which he wrote after Andromaque and before ''Britannicus'', was a farce that was unexpected in his work amongst the tragedies. ''Les Plaideurs'' was first performed late in 1668 at the Hôtel de Bourgogne in Paris.〔Joseph E.
