Bermel IS Moliere
You can't go wrong with Albert Bermel when selecting an adaptation/translation of Moliere. This is strong, sturdy, PLAYABLE, American Moliere. Audiences will get every nuance, every inference, every joke, and will leave your theatre feeling they've experienced the "real deal."

PLEASE!
No self respecting actor would ever use this text! It assumes you know absolutely nothing. It attempts to put the text into a readable form, but I see nothing charming about translating Moliere into American slang or braindead sentences. Get a real translation and don't waste your time!

This review is from: The Miser & George Dandin: The Actor's Moliere - Volume 1 (Paperback)
You can't go wrong with Albert Bermel when selecting an adaptation/translation of Moliere. This is strong, sturdy, PLAYABLE, American Moliere. Audiences will get every nuance, every inference, every joke, and will leave your theatre feeling they've experienced the "real deal."There's nothing "fussy" or "precious" about Bermel's work (unlike the vaunted Richard Wilbur translations that leave me cold) and they're much more accessible to American ears and sensibilities than are Miles Malleson's fine British adaptations. This "Miser" is a HOOT from the get-go. |
