Charles Collé (1709-1783) was a French dramatist and songwriter.
The 'Théâtre de société' is a collection of comedies published in 1768. It was namely for his patron, Louis Philippe I Duke of Orléans and his associates that Collé composed the greater part of his Théâtre de société. With this collection, Collé wanted to show the public his most elaborate pieces, in order to prove that he was capable of composing something other than parades, the genre in which he had become famous.
