Beaumarchais’ The Marriage of Figaro was the greatest comedy of the 18th Century, and so inflammatory that censors suppressed it for a decade. What was so revolutionary? To boil it down, a nobleman is humiliated by his wife and servant. At a time when European noblemen still enjoyed the ‘droit de seigneur,’ this was radical and dangerous. Today, The Marriage of Figaro often is seen as a period sex farce, but one must read between the lines as the eager audiences of 1785 did. They guillotined the king eight years later. Presented by Wing & Groove Theatre Company at Chopin Theatre, 1543 W. Division, through Dec. 13. (773) 782-9416; $15. PICTURED: Benjamin Morphis and Molly Meehan. Photo by Julie Zavelosff.
