Don Juan Comes Back from the War was first performed in this translation at the National Theatre in 1978.

FIGARO GETS DIVORCED

(FIGARO LÄSST SICH SCHEIGEN):

An aristocratic couple and their two servants are on the run from a revolution. Their fortunes rise and fall against a background of social and political upheaval. Figaro Gets Divorced was premiered in this translation at the Gate Theatre in 1990.
