Eighteenth-century France produced only one truly international
theater star, Beaumarchais, and only one name, Figaro, to combine
with Don Quixote and D'Artagnan in the ranks of popular myth. But
who was Figaro? He was quickly appropriated by Mozart and Rossini
who tamed the original impertinent, bustling servant for their own
purposes. On the eve of the French Revolution Figaro was seen as a
threat to the establishment and Louis XIV even banned The Marriage
of Figaro.
Was the barber of Seville really a threat to aristocratic heads, or
a bourgeois individualist like his creator? The three plays in
which he plots and schemes chronicle the slide of the ancien regime
into revolution but they also chart the growth of Beaumarchais'
humanitarianism. They are exuberant theatrical entertainments,
masterpieces of skill, invention, and social satire which helped
shape the direction of French theater for a hundred years. This
lively new translation catches all the zest and energy of the most
famous valet in French literature.
