(Holcroft Anglicized Suzanne's name so that English audiences would better accept her.) The Marriage is part of a trilogy, following The Barber of Seville and preceding The Guilty Mother. In our play, staged in London in 1785, Figaro is engaged to be married to Susan, who has caught the eye of Count Almaviva. Louis XVI was not amused with Beaumarchais and imprisoned him for a few days. It was shocking that an commoner could contend directly with a nobleman. Once staged, the play was enormously popular with audiences, including the aristocracy despite their understanding of the underlying themes. Because of its rebellious themes, presented during the troubling times leading up to the French Revolution, Beaumarchais had a very difficult time getting his play past the censors.
Beaumarchais' play was the basis for Mozart's 1796 opera, and is a satire about lovers' misdoings and French society. This is Thomas Holcroft's English translation, obtained by attending Pierre Beaumarchais' French play nine times in Paris during its original official staging in 1784. Translated by Thomas Holcroft (1745 - 1809)
