Three One - Act Comedies

Three one-act comedies. One master of satire. An unforgettable journey through vanity, disguise, and domestic chaos. This collection brings together three of Molière's sharpest short plays each a brilliant snapshot of human folly dressed in wit, farce, and theatrical mischief. In The Countess of Escarbagnas, a pretentious provincial noblewoman tries desperately to emulate the sophistication of Parisian society, only to reveal her own absurdity in the process. The Flying Doctor spins a whirlwind of mistaken identities and slapstick deception as two young lovers enlist a servant to pose as both valet and physician at the same time in order to outsmart a controlling father. And in The Jealousy of Le Barbouillé, Molière presents a comically dysfunctional marriage where a jealous husband's attempts to rein in his free-spirited wife lead only to frustration and ridicule. Together, these short comedies capture Molière's timeless genius for exposing the vanity, stubbornness, and delusions that lie at the heart of everyday life. Witty, fast-paced, and irresistibly fun, this trio of farces is a perfect introduction to the biting brilliance of Molière's theatrical world.
