Victor HUGO (1802 - 1885), French writer
Autograph letter signed to the director of the French theater, Armand-François Jouslin de La Salle. Without place or date. This Wednesday 4 a.m. [Paris, 1836]; 3 pages in-8°. Correspondent's name on fourth page. 5ml small ink corrosion hole without loss of word
Letter about the revival of Angelo, whose interruption of performances Victor Hugo criticizes: “You promised me, my dear director, three performances this week and I was entitled to them. I see that I have to resign myself to having only two. You have to believe that I have a lot of misfortune and that our lord Don Juan of Austria has a lot of happiness. It seems to me that we could well have let Angelo resume and continue peacefully, he had waited quite patiently all winter. Success is visible, but you and I know that any success can be killed by interruptions like this. I don't believe, however, that the Comédie Française has any interest in keeping me completely away from giving it other plays. I therefore commend my interests to you, which are also those of the theatre. You know that nothing is lost with me and that when the day comes I will find a faithful memory of good and bad offices. However, I attach an extreme value to the fact that the performances of Angelo, stopped for so long, continue with the sequel they should have. Your friend Victor Hugo. I still have the same complaint as the other time about today's poster. See. »
Casimir Delavigne's five-act comedy Don Juan d'Ecosse premiered at the Théâtre Français in October 1835.
