5 Acts / 4M, 8F or 5F, 7M This celebrated and humane comedy by Beaumarchais takes place on one mad day when the valet Figaro keeps trying to marry the maid Suzanne despite all obstacles. This is one of the great plays of the 18th Century and of course the basis for Mozart's opera. This translation was commissioned and first performed by Lighthouse for The State Theatre Company of South Australia in 1984.
