Description
Molière's comedy of manners explores the desires and aspirations of a rising member of the middle class. A lust for social status and higher learning drives the plot, revealing the strengths of Molière's rich comic invention and sure delineation of character.
The play's underlying themes of social striving, financial greed, and love's ingenuity remain relevant today. Bernard Sahlins's new adaptation is wonderfully playable, making this a great choice for those looking to experience a timeless work of Continental European drama.
