Jean-Fran ois Ducis (August 14, 1733 - March 31, 1816) was a French dramatist and adapter of Shakespeare.Ducis was born at Versailles.His father, originally from Savoy, was a linen draper at Versailles; and all through life he retained the simple tastes and straightforward independence fostered by his bourgeois education. In 1768 he produced his first tragedy, Anzlise. The failure of this first attempt was fully compensated by the success of his Hamlet (1769), and Rom o et Juliette (1772). dipe chez Adm le, imitated partly from Euripides and partly from Sophocles, appeared in 1778, and secured him in the following year the chair in the Academy left vacant by the death of Voltaire. Equally successful was Le Roi Lear in 1783.
