Box and Cox  is largely based on Frisette , a one-act vaudeville by the French playwrights Eugène Labiche (1815-88) and Auguste Lefranc (1814-78), first staged at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal, Paris, on Tuesday 28th April 1846. In this play, Madame Ménachet, the housekeeper, rents out, without their knowledge, the same room to Gabriel Gaudrion, a baker’s assistant, who uses it during the day, and to Frisette, a lace-maker, who uses it during the night. . . . .
