Description

"Beaumarchais' plays have always seemed to need the same kind of shoring up as his reputation, as though they couldn't stand on their own without a scaffolding of good tunes. Yet, as John Wells's lively and splendidly speakable translations of the Barber, the Marriage, and A Mother's Guilt demonstrate, they need assistance from no one." —David Coward, The London Review of Books

Author Biography:

John Wells (1936-1998) was an English actor, satirist, author, screenwriter, and co-founder of the magazine Private Eye. John Leigh is a Fellow of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, and University Lecturer in the Department of French.
