*Figaro divorce* is a dramatic work by Austrian playwright Odön von Horvath, originally written in the early 20th century. This edition, published in French translation by Actes Sud in 1992, presents the play in a 93-page paperback format. The title alludes to the character of Figaro from Beaumarchais’ classic comedies, reimagined here in a modern context that explores themes of marriage, divorce, and social convention through sharp dialogue and satirical wit. Horvath’s work is known for its critical examination of bourgeois society and moral hypocrisy, blending elements of comedy with pointed social commentary. This edition serves as an accessible entry point for French-speaking audiences to engage with one of Horvath’s lesser-known but thematically rich theatrical pieces.
