Moliere: A Play in Five Acts

Synopsis

George Sand, the nineteenth-century French feminist and writer (1804-1876), wrote many well-known novels, but her dramatic work, although equally compelling, is much less known to modern audiences. Molière is one of the best plays about a literary figure ever written, and is one of the few dramas about the playwright that isn't limited to a single incident or aspect of his life. Sand absolves Molière of any wrongdoing, while dramatizing the tensions between the man and his much younger wife, Armande Béjart.
