About the author

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Molière

France's greatest comic playwright, Molière skewered hypocrisy, pretension, and religious cant with devastating wit. He ran his own theater company and performed in his own plays until collapsing on stage and dying. His comedies remain the cornerstone of the French theatrical repertoire.
