A new English translation of one of Moliere's most famous theatrical comedies, performed at Birmingham Repertory Theatre, UK, in 2013.
This hilarious and irreverent whirlwind of lies, religious hypocrisy and family feuds features one of theatre’s most perfect comedy creations.
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Molière (1622-73), the French
actor-manager and dramatist, was one of the theatre's greatest
comic classics. Inspired by traditions of French farce and the
'commedia dell'arte', he courted controversy with his satiric
commentaries on the society of his time and on eternal human
foibles, but was saved by the patronage of the 'Sun King' Louis
XIV.
ChrisCampbell read English and French at St Edmund Hall, Oxford. He
is currently the Literary Manager at the Royal Court Theatre.
Christopher has worked as an actor in Canada, France and Belgium,
as well as here in the UK.
