Description
These are the best of Molière's masterful one-acts, blending broad farce and pointed wit to express his never-ending delight in human foibles. But Molière is more than just the “master of the laugh,” for behind the comic gestures of these matchless rogues, tight-fisted masters, possessive lovers and elegant ladies lurk fears, insecurities and their consequences. Includes: The Jealous Husband, The FlyingDoctor, Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed, The Imaginary Cuckold, The Rehe arsal at Versailles, The Forced Marriage, The Seductive Mistress.
