One of the greatest comedies in French theatre history,
Beaumarchais' Le Mariage de Figaro is a dynamic text of humour and
social satire which still works well on stage today, and was the
inspiration for Mozart's opera.Although ostensibly set in Spain,
the play satirises certain abuses and attitudes prevalent in France
during the turbulent years just before the French Revolution.The
play's treatment of moral themes and its strong, resourceful female
characters make it as vital work of literature and theatre, as
relevant today as when it was written two centuries ago. This
edition features the full French text, and includes a comprehensive
introduction, bibliography and commentary notes with contextual
information on eighteenth century French theatre and cultural
history.The editor Malcolm Cook discusses the play's controversial
original reception, and detailed notes explain the social and
political allusions as well as the wordplays and jokes indulged in
by one of history's most provocative and thought-provoking
dramatists.
