As a result of public pressure, Louis XVI relented, allowing some public performances of The Marriage of Figaro.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
Louis XVI tried to keep the play from being produced, banning one production after another just before its performance. Beaumarchais, however, was able to get enough private readings performed that the play became well known despite the king's resistance. Public pressure on the king forced him to allow sixty-eight public performances, with the audiences applauding almost every line.
