Alexandre Bisson

Alexandre Bisson (1848–1912) was a French playwright, novelist, and vaudeville creator. Bisson’s plays were well known throughout France, and in 1892, he brought his works to New York City and premiered them on Broadway. His most famous play, Madame X, was revived three times and was a commercial success. It has since been made into films and was adapted into a novel by J. W. McConaughy. Bisson also found success in his stage adaptation of Florence Barclay’s novel The Rosary.
