«Le Mariage de Figaro - La Mère coupable» is the theatre volume by Beaumarchais published by Folio in paperback (448 pages, in French).
The volume brings together two plays by Beaumarchais: «Le Mariage de Figaro», a comedy satirising aristocratic privileges and social conventions of the 18th century, and «La Mère coupable», its sequel, focused on the family consequences of past love affairs. In the French text, Chérubin expresses youthful agitation before love.
It is part of the Figaro trilogy (volumes 2-3), edited by Pierre Larthomas, in the Folio classique collection (no. 1527); originally published in 1784.
An edition aimed at students of French and readers of classic European theatre.
