First performance at the Bouffes-Parisiens theater (September 28, 1956).
In his play "JUDAS", Pagnol delivers a personal version of this story, which he considers as a mystery.
The baker's wife ran away with a shepherd. The baker gets drunk and stops making bread. Everyone in the village - including the legendary enemies, the schoolteacher and the priest - unite to find the baker's wife.
Two years after Marius, Pagnol took up his characters in Fanny (1931) where he had left them. Audiences at the Théâtre de Paris enthusiastically found Fanny, César, Panisse, Escartefigue, Monsieur Brun and Honorine.
When Marcel Pagnol, in 1929, had Marius performed on a Parisian stage, he probably did not suspect that his characters would become as famous as Harpagon or Monsieur Jourdain.

Catullus, a young Latin poet, loves Clodia, a courtesan, passionately. She falls in love with him but, light and frivolous, she deceives him.
