Sardou, Victorien

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Sardou, Victorien (1831-1908)

French dramatist. He was a leading exponent of the ‘well-made’ play. He wrote plays with roles for Sarah Bernhardt - for example, Fédora 1882 and La Tosca 1887 (the basis for the opera by Puccini). George Bernard Shaw coined the expression ‘Sardoodledom’ to express his disgust with Sardou's contrived dramatic technique.
