Brief Summary:
Prompt copy of Le Caffé, ou L’Écossaise written in the hand of Caron Du Chasnet, with corrections and additions by Delaporte and Bouthier Darcourt.
Detailed Summary:
The dating of this MS is unclear. L’Écossaise was taken out of the repertory on 12 May 1788 and was later revived in 1792-93. It seems most likely that this copy was produced for the reprise, given that Bouthier Darcourt helped Delaporte and Bonneval in copying plays from December 1788. However, it is equally possible that Caron produced this copy of the text during his trial period as assistant secrétaire-souffleur from 1770 to 1772.
