# The Follies of a Day; or, The Marriage of Figaro

_A comedy, as it is now performing at the Theatre-Royal, Covent-Garden. From the French of M. de Beaumarchais_

By Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais.

"The Follies of a Day; or, The Marriage of Figaro" by Beaumarchais is a comedy written in 1778. Three years after helping the Count win his bride, the clever servant Figaro prepares for his own wedding to Suzanne. But the Count, already bored with marriage, has set his sights on the bride-to-be. What follows is a mad day of schemes, disguises, and social intrigue that shocked King Louis XVI and became so controversial it took six years to reach the public stage.
