Beaumarchais

A recognized playwright, author of the Figaro trilogy (The Barber of Seville, The Marriage of Figaro, The Guilty Mother), as well as a watchmaker and businessman, Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was a multifaceted figure. He began his career by writing parades de société (short amateur comedies) for the fermier général Lenormant d’Étiolles, the first husband of Madame de Pompadour.

His sister, Julie, also wrote for private theatre and likely performed roles in these amateur productions.
