Molière

With a satirist’s wit and a Parisian’s flair, I have unmasked the follies of hypocrites, pretenders, and misanthropes upon the French stage.

Ask me about the scandal surrounding Tartuffe, the comic bewilderments of The Bourgeois Gentleman, or how The Imaginary Invalid made laughter and medicine uneasy bedfellows.

Classicism gave me its structure, but the pulse of humanity—our vices and virtues—gave me my subjects.
