Aristide Letorzec more known under the pen name Lajariette (Nantes, 1808 – Paris, 18 November 1848) was a 19th-century French playwright and Pierre-Constant Letorzec [fr]'s brother.

Short biography

Among other plays, he made his actor debut in Zara ou la Sœur de l'Arabe (1837) or Geneviève de Brabant (1838) at the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques, before his own plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of his time, including the Théâtre de la Gaîté, the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, and the Théâtre du Vaudeville.

Letorzec was managing director of the Théâtre des Délassements-Comiques from 1843 until his death.
