The Barber of Seville - In a New Translation and Adaptation by Bernard Sahlins

Fast-moving and brisk, and filled with wit, humor, and gaiety, the sheer fun of the Barber assures its immortality. Mr. Sahlins's deft adaptation of a superbly constructed plot, and his attention to language for present-day audiences, make this a beautifully playable farce.
