Le Gendarme incompris
Le Gendarme incompris ("The misunderstood Gendarme") is a one-act play written in 1920 by Jean Cocteau and Raymond Radiguet and set to music by Francis Poulenc, his FP 20a.

The play features three characters: Commissaire Médor played by Pierre Bertin), a gendarme named the Penultimate whose replicas are from a poem in the "Divagations" by Stéphane Mallarmé, and an old lady, the Marquise de Montonson.

It was played publicly only once, on 24 May 1921, in addition to the dress rehearsal the day before. Two more performances were scheduled for 25 and 26 May.
