Prof: Carol MacKay
Location: AFL Office
Duration: 5 Weeks
Required Materials: The complete text of Le Mariage de Figaro can be downloaded at no cost through TV5 Monde, which provides both a PDF version that can be printed or read online, or an ePub version that can be read on a digital e-reader such as Kindle or Nook.
Course Description: Participants in this course will read and discuss Le Mariage de Figaro, Beaumarchais’ 1784 comedy that boldly criticized the injustices of the Old Regime on the eve of the French Revolution. Through sharp wit and lively dialogue, the play satirizes the nobility and promotes Enlightenment ideals, especially in its depiction of Figaro outsmarting his aristocratic master.
The course will begin with a discussion of the playwright’s surprising role in the American Revolution to set the play’s historical context.
- Class activities include guided reading, scene discussion, vocabulary support, and short performance clips.
- B2 level or higher required for this class.
All registrations completed after September 5th will incur a $25 administrative late fee.
TO PAY BY CHECK: Please speak with office staff before mailing a check for administrative purposes.
