Panurge

About the show

Panurge claims his wife Colombe has died, but she appears and reveals she faked her death to escape his drunken abuse. He flees with Pantagruel to the Abbey of Thélème, where he pursues Ribaude and pretends not to recognize Colombe. Colombe follows and disguises herself as a monk and later a Bacchic oracle. She tells Panurge he will find her if he drinks less and stops beating her. He rejoins her, and the company celebrates.
