"L'existence de Beaumarchais est une ivresse de vivre. Une suite de folles journées. Une pièce de théâtre effrénée où les personnages, tous Beaumarchais, se succèdent, se nourrissent l'un l'autre, s'allient, se contredisent, se combattent, parfois se détestent, le plus souvent s'aiment, trop. Ce serait banal si, vécues par tous ces personnages, toutes ces vies se succédaient sagement. Cet horloger, fils d'horloger, ne supporte pas la chronologie..."
