This set of comedies brings the essence of Molière's humor and satire into the twenty-first century in zesty, fresh, modern English. Among the funniest plays ever written, they focus on the many foibles of humanity: social climbing, greed, deceit, hypocrisy, domestic quarrels, bombast, and artificiality of all kinds.
Molière's plays are about people today just as much as they were about people of the seventeenth century; audiences will recognize their acquaintances here, and perhaps themselves as well.
Most of the plays in this collection are in verse in English, and, unlike other translations, follow the rollicking rhythms and rhymes of the Molière originals.
