Story0
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière, stands as one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature. His renowned play, Tartuffe, or The Hypocrite, first unveiled in 1664, showcases a compelling tale of deception and moral conflict. While initially embraced by the public and even by Louis XIV, the plays popularity faced challenges when the Archbishop of Paris issued a threatening edict against its performance and viewing. The narrative centers on Tartuffe, a duplicitous con artist posing as a pious individual, who cunningly embeds himself within Orgons household. As Orgon ...

Story1
Monsieur Jourdain est un commerçant qui a fait fortune dans les perruques. Il décide de vivre "en homme de qualité"' et ouvre sa maison aux arts et aux lettres... Cette comédie-ballet consacre l'image d'Epinal de l'arriviste, dont Molière moque allègrement la fatuité et l'ignorance. Le titre donné à la pièce est révélateur. Il nous apprend que pour Molière le sujet de l'œuvre, c'est M. Jourdain et sa propension vaniteuse à gagner une classe sociale qui n'est pas la sienne.

Story1
Avec le génial Louis de Funès dans le rôle de Géronte. Les fourberies de Scapin est une comédie de Molière en prose, créée en 1671 et fortement empreinte de comédie italienne. Du vivant de Molière, qui interprétait Scapin, elle ne connut qu'un faible succès ; à sa mort il devient immense, jusqu'à en faire une des pièces les plus jouées du répertoire français. En l'absence de leurs pères partis en voyage, Octave, fils d'Argante, s'est épris de Hyacinthe, jeune fille pauvre et de naissance inconnue qu'il vient d'épouser, ainsi que Léandre, fils de Géronte, de la "jeune Égyptienne" Zerbinette.

Représentées pour la première fois au théâtre du Palais-Royal le 12 mars 1672, "Les femmes savantes" fut un succès, car le registre de La Grange indique que, de cette date au 5 avril, la comédie fut jouée onze fois avec des recettes satisfaisantes. Si, avec "Les femmes savantes", Molière a atteint un degré de perfection qu'il ne pouvait plus dépasser, c'est qu'il s'y efforça avec obstination ; autant pour prendre sa revanche de tant d'ouvrages faciles que le caprice royal l'avait contraint à "bâtir sur l'heure", que pour confondre ses détracteurs qui l'accusaient de "bâcler"...!

"Tout le monde me prend pour un homme de bien ; mais la vérité pure est que je ne vaux rien." Tartuffe. Quel poison s'est insinué dans le foyer d'Orgon ? En laissant Tartuffe entrer dans sa maison, Orgon ne pouvait pas imaginer qu'il allait mettre en péril sa fortune, son honneur et l'unité de sa famille. Dans cette pièce hautement provocatrice, Molière démontre toute l'étendue de son talent pour fustiger, sous couvert du rire, les impostures d'un discours religieux drapé dans les oripeaux de la dévotion.

When Sganarelle enlists the help of four fashionable doctors to cure his ailing daughter, chaos ensues as they bicker and argue instead of diagnosing her. Driven to desperation, Sganarelle takes to the streets, where he encounters a quack and discovers his daughters secret lover in disguise. Molière himself describes this work as a light-hearted impromptu, hastily composed at the request of the King in just five days. This spoken rendition captures the essence of the play, excluding the original songs and dances set to Lullys music. - Summary by ToddHW
