Inconstant George was the British adaptation of the popular French farce L'âne de Buridan (Buridan's Ass), written by Robert de Flers and Gaston de Caillavet. Adapted for the English stage by Gladys Unger, the play premiered in London in 1908. This period marked a peak for farcical comedies in British theatre, a genre characterized by intricate plots, social satire, and often risqué humor surrounding marital dilemmas and mistaken identities.
