New page

''[[Le Précepteur dans l'Embarras]]'' is a French one act comédie-[[vaudeville]] by usually attributed to Mélesville (''nom de plume'' of Anne-Honore-Joseph Duveyrier, 1787-1865 ).

== The original text ==

The play was apparently based on an Italian original, but the Italian text is unknown. The French play was first produced in Paris in 1823, in a number of versions, by a number of authors apparently, including:

"''[[Le Précepteur dans l'Embarras]]'', comédie-vaudeville en 1 acte, imitée de l'italien, par M. Mélesville". Produced at Le Théàtre Variétés, on 14 July 1823, and published in 1824;

"Le Precepteur dans l’Embarass", attributed to Monsieurs Imbert et Varner and presented at the Théàtre du Gymnase, also 14 July 1823;

"''[[La pension de retraite, ou Le précepteur dans l'embarras]]'': comédie-vaudeville en un acte" by Pierre-Frédéric-Adolphe Carmouche (with Frédéric de Courcy, in some sources) and performed January 1, 1823 by Mme Huet.

It would appear that Mélesville, Pierre-Frédéric-Adolphe Carmouche and Frédéric de Courcy often collaborated, hence these productions were most probably the same (collaborative) play, done by varying companies to increase profitability. The English version credits Mélesville.

== Translations and adaptations ==

Translated into English by John Poole as ''[[The Scape-goat]]'' and first performed at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden, London, 25 November 1825. Published in London by Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper
in 1826. Also found as ''[[The Scape Goat]]'' or ''[[The Scapegoat]]''.

== South African performances ==

1832: Performed in the [[African Theatre|Cape Town Theatre]], Cape Town by the [[British Amateur Company]] (under the motto [[All the World's a Stage]]) on 12 November 1832, as afterpiece to ''[[The Castle Spectre]]'' (Lewis).
