Eugène Scribe bol francúzsky dramatik a libretista, preslávený zdokonaľovaním tzv. „dobre napísanej hry“. Jeho divadelná forma dominovala populárnemu divadlu viac ako sto rokov a jeho libreta sprevádzali mnohé z najúspešnejších veľkých opier. Scribeov vplyv spočíval v precíznom štruktúrovaní dramatických diel, ktoré uspokojovali dobové publikum a formovali štandardy pre generácie dramatikov. Jeho majstrovstvo v tvorbe napínavých zápletiek a funkčných dialógov z neho urobilo kľúčovú postavu francúzskeho divadla 19. storočia.
