Product Description
Synopsis
In the seventeenth century, Moliere raised comedy to the pitch of great art and, three centuries later, his plays are still a source of delight. He created a new synthesis from the major comic traditions at his disposal. This collection demonstrates the range of Moliere's comic vision, his ability to move between the broad and basic ploys of farce to the more subtle and sophisticated level of high comedy. The "Misanthrope" appears along with "Such Preposterously Precious Ladies", "Tartuffe", "A Doctor Despite Himself", "The Would-Be Gentleman", and "Those Learned Ladies".
