Léon Laya


Léon Laya was a 19th-century French playwright. The académicien Jean-Louis Laya was his father.
Léon Laya was the author of a number of successful comedies, alternating between the delicacy or purity of the idea and the vivacity of the form : Une Maîtresse anonyme, in 2 acts ; la Peau du lion, in 2 acts ; les Cœurs d’or, in 3 acts, with Prémaray ; les Jeunes gens, in 3 acts, free and independent adaptation of Terence's Adelphoe ; le duc Job, in 4 acts, one of the most sustained successes of the Théâtre-Français ; la Loi du cœur, etc.
