La Folle Journée ou le Mariage de Figaro by Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais
"La Folle Journée ou le Mariage de Figaro" by Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais is a five-act comedy written in 1778 and first publicly performed in 1784 after years of censorship. On the morning of Figaro's wedding to Suzanne, the servant discovers his master, Count Almaviva, wants to reinstate an abolished feudal right. What follows is a frenzied day of schemes, disguises, and cascading surprises. The play's bold critique of aristocratic privilege
made it a controversial precursor to the French Revolution. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
