About the Author:
Molière is one of the greatest writers of comedy of all time. Works include Les Fourberies de Scapin, Tartuffe, The Misanthrope, The Miser, and The Hypochondriac.
Review:
"""riotously entertaining...has you laughing like a drain"" - Telegraph ""The show's virtue, however, is its fidelity to Moliere in combining broad-bottomed farce with an assault on the morbid egotism of those for whom illness becomes a way of life... hilarious"" - Guardian"
