The play was translated into English by Thomas Holcroft, and under the title of "The Follies of a Day – Or The Marriage of Figaro" it was produced at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden in London in late 1784 and early 1785. In France the play has held its place in the repertory, and leading companies have played it in the original language to audiences in Europe and America. In 1960 a Comédie Française production was filmed, under the direction of Jean Mayer, with Jean Piat as Figaro.
