The Guilty Mother

Title page of the Bibliothèque nationale de France copy of the first published edition of the play, 1793

The Guilty Mother (French: La Mère coupable), subtitled The Other Tartuffe, is the third play of the Figaro trilogy by Pierre Beaumarchais; its predecessors were The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro.[1] This was the author's last play. It is rarely revived.[citation needed] Like the earlier plays of the trilogy it has been turned into operatic form, but it has not entered the general opera repertoire.
