Janot, ou Les Battus Paient l'Amende ("Janot, or the beaten pay the fine") is a "proverbe-comédie-parade" ("a proverb-comedy-parade") by Dorvigny (Louis-François Archambault, 1742-1812)[1].
Contents
The original text
First performed at the Théâtre des Variétés Amusantes, Paris , 6 June 1779. The original title, as published in 1779 by L. Jorry, was simply Les Battus Paient l'Amende ("the beaten pay the fine"), and the work was described as a one act "proverbe-comédie-parade" or "ce que l'on voudra" ("what you will"). In later editions (e.g. by Alphonse Berenguier in 1800), the name of the lead character became the main title for the work, so it was published and performed as Janot, ou Les Battus Paient l'Amende ("Janot, or the beaten pay the fine"), the more familiar title today.
