Story
This timeless comedy of manners is considered one of Molière's most probing and mature works. While it's still an exemplar of 17th century farce, Molière went beyond his usual comic inventiveness to create a world of rich, complex characters, especially in the cynical title character Alceste, played here by the Tony Award-winning actor Brian Bedford.

Story
Jean-Baptiste Pocquelin, better known by his pen-name Molière, was France's greatest satirical dramatist. Such was his influence on the French language that it is often referred to as 'the language of Molière', and he has been dubbed 'the French Shakespeare'. A leading 17th Century comic actor and director, his genius encompassed all aspects of stage comedy, and his plays continue to appeal to audiences today. Included here are six of his masterpieces, as heard on BBC Radio.

Story
Molière wrote some of the most durable and penetrating comedies of all time. The Imaginary Cuckold and The School for Husbands are two of his grand farces of marriage and misunderstanding, one set in Paris and the other in the provinces. In The School for Husbands, a tyrannical husband-to-be seeks to isolate his ward, while unwittingly carrying her messages of devotion to her lover. In The Imaginary Cuckold, an enraged husband imagines his wife is unfaithful, but is reluctant to defend his honor.

"Messieurs, en un mot autant qu'en deux mille, je vous dis que je ne suis point médecin." Sganarelle a beau protester, rien n'y fait : on veut qu'il soit médecin, quitte à le rouer de coups de bâton pour cela. Son premier cas ? Une jeune fille obstinément muette. Aux grands maux les grands remèdes, et ceux de ce médecin malgré lui sont des plus étonnants !

Story
"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.

Story
Satire de la médecine, satire des femmes, satire des niais, défense du bon sens, de la liberté, de la vie et de l'amour, "Le médecin malgré lui" est tout cela à la fois ; on en pourrait dire autant de la plupart des pièces de Molière. Si celle-ci se distingue des autres, et en particulier des autres farces auxquelles on la rattache ordinairement, c'est sa surprenante présence de son personnage central, ce Sganarelle qui de faiseur de fagots devient grand médecin, et par la violence agressive de son langage.

Story
In this biting comedy of errors, the hapless Arnolphe is undone by his own double dealing and double standards. The School for Wives was first performed at the Palais Royal theatre on December 26, 1662, and is considered by many to be Moliere's masterpiece. Richard Wilbur's subtle verse translation illuminates the great master of comedy at his wittiest.

Story
Razor-sharp wit inflames a competitive game of survival in the salons of 17th century France where, in this world of "finest appearances," one man's blunt honesty shatters his society's delicate web of manners. Often considered to be Moliere's Hamlet, this is a wickedly scathing satire.

Story
Le XVIIe siècle est un siècle majeur pour la langue et la littérature française. Poésie et théâtre se développent avec force, le classicisme s'impose avec un nombre de chefs d'œuvre rarement atteint tandis que le roman naît et s'épanouit parallèlement aux productions des moralistes et des fabulistes : rarement époque aura produit autant de grands écrivains, dont la marque est indélébile dans l'ensemble de la culture.
