These are the best of Moliere's masterful one-acts, blending broad farce and pointed wit to express his never-ending delight in human foibles. But Moliere is more than just the "master of the laugh," for behind the comic gestures of these matchless rogues, tight-fisted masters, possessive lovers and elegant ladies lurk fears, insecurities and their consequences. Includes: The Jealous Husband, The Flying Doctor, Two Precious Maidens Ridiculed, The Imaginary Cuckold, The Rehearsal at Versailles, The Forced Marriage, The Seductive Mistress.

Bermel is the BEST!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One-Act Comedies of Moliere: Seven Plays (Actor's Moliere, Vol 4) (Paperback)
If you're producing Moliere for an American audience, Bermel's translations/adaptations are the BEST! His texts play magnificently and his ability to transcode Moliere's sense of humor into an American-accessible format is extraordinary.

Little known Moliere (at least in America),
By
This review is from: One-Act Comedies of Moliere: Seven Plays (Actor's Moliere, Vol 4) (Paperback)
These comedies are just as good as his well known plays. This translation is simple and direct. A great addition to an actor's book shelf. Good for high school students as the plays are short.
