Amphitryon

Jupiter, King of the Gods, has again become enamoured with a mortal woman, Alcmena, wife of the military general, Amphitryon. During the general's absence in the field, Jupiter assumes Amphitryon's form, and is gladly welcomed home and into Àlcmena's bed. The god Mercury aids in the deception by assuming the role of Amphitryon's valet, Sosia. The next morning, the real Sosia arrives to tell Alcmena that her husband will soon return home, but he is thwarted by his own double (Mercury), who, protecting Jupiter inside the house, berates and confuses Sosia, beating him up as he forces Sosia to flee. Alcmena and Jupiter (as Amphitryon) take leave of one another amid eloquent and passionate speeches befitting young newlyweds. Cleanthis, Alcmena's maid and Sosia's wife, is envious of such romantic fervour, and reproaches Mercury (whom she believes to be her husband) for his want of tenderness toward her. Mercury's mischievous replies contribute to the unhappiness of Cleanthis' and Sosia's quarrelsome marriage which,

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

Moliere's THE BUNGLER (1655) takes place in the Sicilian city of Messina and is a fresh, zestful verse treatment of the familiar elements of Italian popular comedy. A beautiful young woman named Celie has been traveling with a gypsy band and, shortly before the play begins, has been left by the gypsies with a rich old man named Trufaldin as security for a loan. Two young men of Messina, Lelie and Leandre, have lately been rivals for the hand of a girl named Hippolyte, but when Celie appears on the scene they are both smitten by her, and she becomes the new object of their rivalry. The warm, impetuous Lelie turns to his valet, a cunning trickster named Mascarille, for help in out-witting Leandre and in freeing the pawned Celie from what amounts to captivity. Mascarille, who loves to plot and deceive, contrives ruse after ruse in his master's interest, but is repeatedly frustrated by the blunders of Leliewho, even when he is an informed participant in his valet's schemes, manages unintentionally to spoil them. This joke is repeated for nearly five acts, and does not grow tiresome: One delights in the resilience of Mascarille, the wondrous variety of his intrigues, and the astonishing ability of Lelie to botch them. As the result of certain discoveries, the play is able at its close to unite Lelie with his Celie, who turns out to be of gentle birth. Leandre is reunited with Hippolyte, to the satisfaction of her father, Anselme, and indeed the denouement pleases everyone, including Trufaldin, Pandolfe (Lelie's father), and Andres, a former suitor of Celie's who is now revealed to be her long-lost brother. It is, as Mascarille observes, "like the ending of a comedy."

Synopsis:

A free adaptation of Moliere's Tartuffe, which relocates this savage look at religious bigotry to Ireland in 1992, at the time of the Right to Travel and Information Referenda.

Synopsis:

Don Juan is a man whose charm, money brains and devastating good looks make him irresistible to any woman he meets. He denies God and laughs at society, and like the Devil, has all the best tunes. But Don Juan's deeds are catching up with him. He's abandoned his first wife Elvira, who insists on seeing him at his palace. He's also murdered her father, who now accepts an invitation to dinner. Can Don Juan's faithful servant Sganarelle save him, or do the gates of hell await? Written by Iain Heggie after Moliere

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

Famous in drama, opera, poetry and story, the immortal rake, Don Juan, is here treated by Moliere as a means to ridicule human follies, pretensions and hypocrisies while, albeit delightfully, pointing up a timeless moral. The action of the play moves with swiftness and style as Don Juan pursues his amorous prey, bemusing his world-weary servant, Sganarelle, and deftly turning aside the wrath of his enemies. Contemptuous and arrogant, Don Juan is also a figure of enormous verve and magnetism, and while the error of his ways makes his demise inevitable, the calm dignity with which he accepts his spectacular fate only adds to his richness and dimensions as a legendary character.

Synopsis:

Long ago in Sicily, the legend of Don Juan began. In this, Moliere's version of the tale, we meet Don Juan again. He is a man who appreciates beauty wherever and whenever he sees itand beauty is almost always a pretty woman, who he appreciates by winning her love. Don Juan is on a constant quest to conquer women and to enjoy the passion they provoke. He is accompanied, somewhat reluctantly, by his manservant Sganarelle, who backs him up to the public, but behind his back tries to warn unsuspecting maidens. Sganarelle and Don Juan constantly debate the presence of Heaven, Hell and GodDon Juan believing none of these things exist, Sganarelle knowing otherwise. In the course of his attempted seductions, Don Juan is chased and challenged by those he has wronged in the pastor by their very angry brothers whose job it is to uphold family honor. In the end, Sganarelle wins the debate when Don Juan, heeding no warnings as to his behavior and how it affects his after life, is swallowed up by the Earth and sent to Hell. He's got his due, leaving behind a world of broken-hearted women and unpaid wages to Sganarelle.

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

Lamour the merrier, as Molieres legendary lover wears a new mask! Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Moliere (1622-1673) was both a father of French national drama and a dramatist in the Italian tradition of Commedia dellArte. He literally shared a stage with Pariss finest Commedia troupe and borrowed many of their plots, characters, and conventions in creating his own plays. He even modeled his famous servant Sganarelle (a part he played himself) on the legendary character Scaramouche created by the Italian comic actor Tiberio Fiorilli. For Season Five, Faction of Fools is excited to produce our first comedy by Moliere, Don Juan, freely adapted and directed by two-time Helen Hayes nominee Matthew R. Wilson and featuring local favorite Sun King Davis in the title role. This hilarious send up of high culture is set in a protean art museum outfitted with ever-changing paintings and ambulatory statues. Multi-talented theatre artist Klyph Stanford designs the set, lighting, and projections to create these amazing effects!

Don Juan In Soho

Moliere's farcical, tragic, anarchic original of 1665 is relocated to modem day Soho: swank, new hotels and festering old clip joints, crackheads in alleys and cokeheads in clubs. The destitute, the delirious, the broken and the brazen, the hustlers and hoorays, the media movers and merciless whores - all packed into one seething square mile. Don Juan - the infamous amoral hedonist in a society entranced by sensation.

Notes:

Original Playwright - Moliere. Since its original 1672 run, Moliere's classic comedy, Les Femmes Savantes, has been performed over 2000 times at the Comedie-Francaise in Paris. This translation is written in prose instead of verse - it's accessible without being 'dumbed down.' It's a level of language not out of place in any period or setting from the original 17th century to modern day. The play has five good roles for women: its theme is not the folly of educating women above their place (as some 19th century critics happily believed) but the too-human credulity of three particular women in the face of pseudo-intellectualism, pretension and hypocrisy - themes as relevant (and comic) today as they were 340 years ago.

Synopsis:

Philaminte, her sister-in-law Belise and her older daughter Armande are eager for knowledge. Belise has remained unmarried, yet believes every man wants to marry her. Armande has decided to focus on philosophy without regard for her emotional life. Philaminte's major weakness is that she has chosen to be guided by the intellectual poseur Trissotin. In fact, she has decided he should marry her younger daughter Henriette - the only female member of the family without intellectual pretension (or interest). Henriette is aghast at her mother's decision, all the more because she is in love with Clitandre - a young man previously spurned by Armande. Chrysale, Henriette's father, vows to make her wishes come true, although his poor track record of standing up to Philaminte does not augur well for his success, despite his brother Ariste's wise counsel. Chrysale's only other ally is Martine, the household maid fired by Philaminte for felony misuse of grammar. The first to announce the true venality of Trissotin is Vadius, his rival in literature ("he knows Greek!") It takes a ruse by Ariste to make Philaminte see the truth as well.

Original Playwright - Moliere, from Le Misanthrope

Synopsis:

If any writer on the contemporary British drama scene deserves to be called "irrepressible", it is Ranjit Bolt, a translator and adapter, most often of Comeille or Moliere: The Grouch is an update of the latter's Le Misanthrope. He thrives on contradictions: his translations are usually in verse forms which draw attention to their artifice (here, tetrameter couplets), yet his characters sound natural and modem-day most of the time. The eponymous malcontent Alceste here becomes Alan, a literary critic who delights in plain-speaking as a corrective to the mindless flatteries routinely peddled in his and his beloved Celia's set. He and his friend Philip remark about an ingratiating poetaster: "God, how the fellow does persist!"/"He wants you on his Facebook list." When Celia is revealed to be the biggest hypocrite of the lot, playing all her friends and suitors off against one another, the unmasking is done by reading out incriminating e-mails (which are rendered in prose). In Bolt's work, touches like this either do not feel laboured at all, or else their contrivance becomes part of the fun, as when Alan, refusing to pass judgment on another's poem, overemphasises the verse he himself speaks: "What right to judge it have I got?/Who am I - T.S. El-i-ot?"

Hypochondriac, The

Moliere's classic farce pokes fun at Argan, a man so obsessed by his own imaginary ailments that he can no longer control his haphazard household or the mercenary medics he employs. With doctors determined to grow fat from the profits of his condition, Argan's closest relatives battle to show him the truth of his situation. Using elaborate trickery, they strive to cure the real disease from which he suffers, managing to pile confusion upon hilarious confusion.

Synopsis:

Moliere's The Hypochondriac (a.k.a. The Imaginary Invalid) gets a modern makeover filled with physical comedy, vulgar humanity, bizarre personalities, big hearts as well as hilarious political commentary on wealth, healthcare and our oft messed-up priorities. It doesn't get much more relevant than that. Good, cathartic, meaningful theater can also be an uproarious ruckus of a good time!! In short, Argan is so obsessed by his imaginary ailments, he can no longer control his mess of a household or the mercenary medics he employs. When the doctors try to rip him off, Argan's dearest family strives to cure the real disease from which he suffers. Oh, and there's also a classic love story somewhere in this! And people playing dead! Um... and there's a live band and production numbers too! It's gonna be tons of twists and turns, a lot of confusion, and even more laughter... LMFAO!

Original Playwright - Moliere

Hypochondriac, The

First produced in 1673 and Moliere's final play, The Hypochondriac is a scathingly funny lampoon on both hypochondria and the 'quack' medical profession. Argan is a perfectly healthy, wealthy gentleman, convinced that he is seriously ill. So obsessed is he with medicinal tinkerings and tonics that he is blind to the goings on in his own household. However, his most efficacious cure will not appear in a bottle or a bedpan, but in his sharp-tongued servant, who has a cunning plan to reveal the truth and open her master's eyes.

Synopsis:

here's no better racket than the religion racket and no one knows that racket like Tartuffe. Almost everyone can see what a sanctimonious hypocrite he is, but that doesn't matter. He only needs a couple of rich and influential suckers who will fall for his holier-than-thou routine and, in old Madame Pernelle and her foolish son Orgon, he's found them. String them along for long enough and they'll give him anything he wants: money, power, even the hand of Orgon's daughter in marriage.

Synopsis:

Gorgibus wants his daughter, Celie, to marry a rich man, Valere, instead of Lelie, whom she loves. Celie, lamenting this turn of events while her beloved is away, faints. Her maid catches her and calls out for help. Sganarelle, who happens to be passing, runs over to hold Celie while her maid runs for aid. Sganarelle's wife, however, sees him holding Celie and suspects the worst. She finds a portrait of Lelie, dropped by Celie when she fainted, and admires his good looks. Sganarelle returns and sees his wife gazing at the portrait, and he too suspects an affair. They argue and run off just as Lelie arrives home, after hearing rumors of Celie's wedding plans. Sganarelle enters again, holding the portrait, and Lelie is shocked. He asks Sganarelle how he came to have the portrait, and Sganarelle replies that he took it from his wife. Sganarelle's wife comes back and finds Lelie now ready to faint, so she invites him into their home to rest. Sganarelle, of course, then sees Lelie with his wife, and his suspicions are confirmed. But Celie also sees Lelie leaving the house, and approaches Sganarelle, who tells her that Lelie has cuckolded him with his wife. Celie is stunned and decides that she will then marry the rich man. The two, now estranged lovers, then meet and are trading recriminations, when Sganarelle returns in full armor and carrying a sword, ready to kill Lelie, but lacking the courage. Sganarelle's wife then enters and upbraids Celie for stealing her husband away. None of the offended lovers are specific in their accusations, and confusion reigns until Celie's down to earth maid resolves everything by asking some direct questions and setting everyone straight. Things still look bleak for the young lovers, however, as Gorgibus still insists that Celie marry the rich man, but just then Valere's father arrives to announce that he has discovered that his son married secretly four months ago, freeing Celie and Lelie to marry after all.

Original Playwright - Moliere, adapted by Matthew A.J. Gregory, Greg Tito, Chris Harcum, Shira Gregory

Synopsis:

The Imaginary Invalid is the perfect send-up of our nation's beleaguered healthcare system and the cure for the affliction from which we all suffer: A malnourished sense of humor! After a wildly popular presentation was cut short ironically due to illness, Deadline Productions is triumphantly remounting this new adaptation of Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid. A contemporary re-imagining of Moliere's last play, this production satirizes today's pill-popping culture and profit-driven health care system. The play takes place in a swank Manhattan loft apartment, awash with art that's now overflowing with pill bottles, bed pans and medical paraphernalia. The original musical interludes in the play are now replaced by faux pharmaceutical commercials which promote questionable drug treatments and their unpleasant side effects. The story revolves around Argan, a wealthy and eccentric hypochondriac, who is plagued by a gold-digging wife, an insolent maid, a rebellious young daughter and an infestation of drug-peddling, incompetent doctors. Argan is actually in fine health but is so doped up that the side effects alone have him convinced that he is dying. Through a series of hilarious tricks and outrageous disguises, Argan's fast-talking maid and exasperated brother work furiously to cure Argan of his true malady: his doctors are the real disease

Synopsis:

In Molieres outrageous satire of medicine and its practitioners, the wealthy Argan, to put it mildly, enjoys poor health. Laxatives, suppositories, bloodlettings, and second and third opinions from the leading quacks are the order of his dayand hell on his wily, back-talking servant Toinette. His daughter Angelique is in love with the impoverished Cleante, but Argan wants to marry her to Thomas Diafoirus, a medical dunce who can assure his father-in-law a lifetime of health care. Cleante disguises himself as a music teacher to gain access to his love, but Beline, Argans mercenary second wife, threatens to expose them. A disguised Toinette, sage advice from his brother Beralde, and a faked death scene finally teach Argan where to place his trust. The play ends with Argans ceremonious, pigLatin induction into the medical profession.

a Country and Western Musical. "CHOOK" FOWLER, former C & W singer, is now a middle aged lost soul, caught between the Bushman/Digger mythology of his father, and the 'go for it', self-promotional 1980s model Australian represented by his daughter. the family's conflict is in part explained by each particular generation's attitude to "the land". CHOOK is forced to reconcile a past he believes he has wasted, with his lack of a future when the family returns to Tamworth for the annual Country Music Festival.

Synopsis:

Clitandre seeks the hand of Henriette, a match heartily approved of by her father, Chrysale. However, his wife, Philaminte, has other plans for her younger daughternamely marriage to Trissotin, a foppish wit who panders to Philaminte's intellectual pretensions. Further complications are introduced by Armande, Henriette's older sister, who once rejected Clitandre but now resents his attentions to Henriette; by Belise, Chrysale's sister, who believes (erroneously) that all men are wildly in love with her; and by Vadius, a scholar jealous of Trissotin's hold on Philaminte. Needless to say the course of true love does not run smoothly, as the pseudo-intellectual posturings of Philaminte and her coterie clash with the struggle between Chrysale and Philaminte over who shall ordain the disposition of their daughter's hand. But happily, and thanks to the maneuvering of Chrysale's brother, Ariste, all is set right in the end, with hypocrisy exposed and true love made triumphant.

Love Freaks

this "ferociously filthy and cuttingly contemporary Drama" presents Celine Mcanespie, an employee of the Costly Coffee global empire is dragged off to a weekend training course just days before she's started her new job. Her eco-warrior boyfriend is furious with her for taking the job - partly because he's about to spend the weekend at the company's global HQ demonstrating against them. Weaving sex, intrigue, greed and protest, Love Freaks asks whether the course of true love can survive the ravages of transnational business interests.

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

Lovers' Quarrels (1656) was Moliere's second full-length play in verse, and it is a complex comedy animated by deception and misunderstanding . . . A young woman (Ascagne) has worn masculine disguise since childhood, for the sake of an inheritance that would otherwise go to the household of young Valere. Ascagne loves Valere, who is a suitor of her sister Lucile, and cleverly manages to marry him in a midnight ceremony, Valere believing that his veiled and unseen bride is Lucile. Valere's manservant Mascarille is similarly deceived and, under pressure, conveys his misinformation to eraste, a young man who jealously loves Lucile and is loved in turn by her. The ensuing quarrel between eraste and Lucile lasts until the fourth act, and is paralleled by the quarreling and reconciliation of Gros-Rene (eraste's valet) and Marinette (Lucile's maid)

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

This adaptation of Moliere's The Misanthrope focuses its attention on the aftermath of the events in the original play and shifts the location to a contemporary New York City advertising agency. Alceste departed for his desert island long ago and is never heard from again. Celimene turns thirty and reflects on the course of her life to date. She heads to an office populated by familiar characters, including her testy boss Narissa (based on Arsinoe), the bad poet Orion (based on Oronte) and the self-satisfied Austin (based on Acaste). After work she heads to a bar to meet her best friend Imogene (based on Eliante), now married to Phillip (based on Philinte), for drinks and company. 10 Years Later further probes some of the major themes present in the original play, such as the need for social graces, the ways that people present themselves in public, and the question of how deeply it is possible to know someone, even in an intimate relationship. These themes are explored in the context of life in a densely populated city and the ubiquity of the Internet and its effect on social interactions and relationships.

Synopsis:

The Misanthrope is a play that deals with the consequences of truth and hypocrisy in our lives. Alceste is a misanthrope, a hater of mankind. This play, about Alceste and the love of his life, Celimene, is a love mismatch. Alceste is honest-to a fault-while Celimene is conceited and shallow-everything Alceste hates in a person. Alceste is contemptuous of a society that tells the truth only when it is convenient for them to do so. The manipulative social games people play prove to be the undoing of many.

Misanthrope, The

Disgusted with French society where powdered fops gossip in code and bejewelled coquettes whisper behind fans, poet Alceste embarks on a one-man crusade against fakery, frippery and forked tongues. But could the woman he adores be the worst culprit of them all? And in this rarefied world will his revolution prove merely revolting? Considered by many to be Molieres best work, The Misanthrope was first performed in 1666 in Paris by the Kings Players. Following the huge successes of Tartuffe and The Hypochondriac master wordsmith Roger McGough once again dips his quill into a Moliere classic in this mockery of manners and morals set amid seventeenth-century French aristocracy and written in verse.

Synopsis:

Outraged and disheartened by the vain flattery and calculated duplicity of his fellow men, Alceste declares that henceforth he will speak only the truthno matter what offense this might give. His philosophic friend Philinte counsels him to temper his rashness, but Alceste claims that he can no longer tolerate the conventions of saying one thing to a person's face and another behind his back. Ironically, Alceste is enamored of the young widow Celimene, whose malicious tongue and unceasing coquetry make her the embodiment of the very situation he professes to detest. Ultimately Alceste's directness involves him in a lawsuit, and then a showdown with Celimene. But in the end it is Alceste who rejects the match when confidential letters are disclosed in which Celimene has set down scathing remarks about all her would-be lovers, Alceste included. Self-righteously he declares that he will renounce the world and seek a place where honesty can still flourish. As the curtain falls, however, the unruffled Philinte steps forward once more, taking Alceste in hand and urging him to accept things as they are and for what they are, pointing to the cynical moral that it is the wiser course to accept for the best what cannot be changed for the better.

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

A ruthless moneygrubber controls the strings to his purse as tightly as the reins of his household. But can this forerunner of the modern CEO keep his children in check as well as his own desires when love is added to the mix? WSC's The Miser examines the frailties and foibles of one man's quest to secure his fortune at the expense of those he loves. But just as art imitates life, a bailout arrives just in time to rescue this farce from disaster.

Synopsis:

The aging but vital Harpagon is hoarding every centime he can get his hands on, making sure that his two children, the virginal Elise and the dandy Cleante, live under his iron will. To complicate matters, Elise has fallen in love with the handsome Valere, who masquerades as a servant in the household, despite his noble birth, and, worse yet, Cleante and Harpagon are both smitten with the same woman, the beautiful, if somewhat dim, Marianne. Meanwhile, scheming servants and assorted hustlers angle for Harpagon's incredible wealth, much of which is now buried and protected by snarling Dobermans. The delirious plot spirals to a wildly comic finish, filled with all the masterful plot twists and outrageous revelations one would expect from one of Moliere's finest plays.

Miser, The

Fanatical about protecting his wealth, the paranoid Harpagon (Griff Rhys Jones) suspects all of trying to filch his fortune, and will go to any length to protect it. A matchmaker motivated only by money, he sets his sights on wealthy spouses for his children, so his riches are safe from their grubby hands. As true feelings and identities are revealed will Harpagon allow his children to follow their heart, or will his love of gold prove all-consuming? Passion and purse strings go head to head in this rip roaring comedy, by France's greatest dramatist.

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

We all know someone who's 'careful' with their money... first out of the taxi, last at the bar, wouldn't give a door a bang. Sound familiar? The difference is that The Miser makes the skinflint you know look positively generous! This comedy classic is brought bang up-to-date by award-winning playwright, Martin Sherman. Wealthy skinflint, Harpagon is so mean he steals oats from his horse and can only bring himself to lend rather than give you a good day. His children are useful commodities to be used to increase his coffers through advantageous marriages. Whilst he obsessively guards his wealth and plots their nuptials, they connive to part him from his beloved money and take control of their destinies. Wily servants, a true stage villain, and rivalry in love, Moliere's satirical masterpiece about obsession and status endures. Fast, funny and full of energy, this sparkling new version is as pertinent today as it was when first written and performed by Moliere in the 17th century.

Original Playwright - Moliere. Translated and adapted by Freyda Thomas from L'Avare

Miser, The

The Miser is a new adaptation of Molieres most famous prose play by celebrated Moliere adaptor Freyda Thomas (The Learned Ladies, Tartuffe: Born Again). This side-splitting, comedic classic has all the hilarious elements of the original and is set in a pre-20th Century period, where marriages could be forced upon ones children. In The Miser, the elderly Harpagon obsesses over the feeling that he never has enough money, and unfortunately his obsession wreaks havoc on all around him. This includes his two children, Elise and Cleante, who are passionately in love with a valet and the girl next door, respectively. While Harpagons arranged them to be married to absurdly mismatched types, the two smart children plot against their frugal father until all erupts in a climatic dinner, and truths are revealed.

Original Playwright - Moliere. Translated/Adapted by Bill Irwin and Mark O'Donnell

Synopsis:

The crafty Scapin, servant to the household of Geronte, jumps into the story as he first promises to help in the affairs of his neighbor's son, Octave, then to aid in those of his own charge, Leander (Geronte's son). Both young men have fallen in love with unlikely, and penniless beauties, and both need money to help solve their dilemmas. Scapin knows a good ruse will always win the day and he drafts Sylvestre, Octave's servant, into his schemes. Convincing Sylvestre he's a wonderful actor (and allowing him to build characterizations using movie cliches), Scapin has him play characters who will deceive the family patriarchs into parting with large sums of money. The final scene of the first act is a vaudeville/music hall version of Moliere's famous scene in which Scapin spins a tale of kidnapping, foreigners and ransom. Once the money is obtained, however, Scapin pushes further in order to exact a little revenge on those he's served. Thinking Geronte has said something nasty about him, Scapin sets out to teach him a lesson. The roguish words, however, are Scapin's own lies and stories finally coming back to him, his revenge backfires and he must flee. In the end however, Scapin's schemes aid in revealing the penniless beauties to be the exact right mates for the young chargesbeing of high birth after all since they are discovered to be the missing children of both patriarchsand Scapin returns to his post, with the pleasant punishment of having to marry the maidservant of one of the daughters. There is a final chase and dance among all the participants, which, inevitably, becomes the raucous, delightful curtain call.

Synopsis:

Two brothers, Sganarelle and Ariste, have been named guardians of a deceased friend's two daughters, to raise and even marry if they see fit. Ariste has raised Leonor with great freedom, allowing her to go to parties, indulging her whims and leaving her free to marry whomever she chooses. But Sganarelle has raised Isabelle quite differently, keeping her a virtual prisoner and intending to marry her, no matter what she desires. Ariste has tried to convince his younger brother that this will only inspire Isabelle to seek escape from him. Sganarelle believes that if she was given the same freedom as her sister she would immediately cuckold him. Meanwhile Sganarelle's young neighbor, Valere, has fallen in love with Isabelle from a distance, and she with him. Isabelle tricks her guardian into delivering secret messages to Valere by playing on Sganarelle's fears of suitors for her affections, and Sganarelle unwittingly delivers message after message, thinking Isabelle is spurning Valere's love. In the end Isabelle disguises herself as Leonor, goes to Valere's house while Sganarelle happily fetches a magistrate to marry them. Believing his views of Ariste's rearing of Leonor has been proven correct, Sganarelle drags his brother out of his house to view the wedding. When Sganarelle discovers that he has been the victim of this deception however, he is shocked and swears off women forever.

Synopsis:

Timothy Mooney adapts Moliere's prose original into a work of rhymed iambic pentameter. An earlier, less "plotted," and shorter take on the classic themes of "School for Wives," Moliere here creates a more intelligent female lead, who fools her captor-guardian-fiancee, getting him to carry encoded messages to her lover, under the pretense of going to upbraid the man for being too forward with her.

Synopsis:

It's 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon in Paris is that of Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue she's being sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, whom she lives off of without surrendering to, Celimene has managed to evade love since her beloved husband dieduntil today, when Frank appears. A traveler from England known for his own coruscating wit and acidic misanthropy, Frank turns Celimene's world upside-down, taking on her suitors, matching her barb for barb, and teaching her how to live again. (Never mind that their love affair has been engineered by a couple of well-placed lies.) This wild farce of furious tempo and stunning verbal display, all in very contemporary couplets, runs variations on Moliere's The Misanthrope, which inspired it. Another incomparable romp from the brilliant author of All in the Timing.

Synopsis:

Arnolphe has amused himself for years watching the men around him fall victim to the wiles and deceptions of their clever wives. He's having none of it. His brilliant plan, many years in the making, is to raise his young ward Agnes to be his wife. To that end he locked her away in a convent with a bare-bones education designed to keep her as innocent and ignorant as possible. Now he's ready to reap his reward and nothing-not bumbling servants, a gallant young suitor, not even Agnes' awakening passion-will stand in his way. Written just months after the playwright married a girl 20 years younger than himself, Moliere's School for Wives (1662) reveals an artist and a man who has learned, perhaps the hard way, that youth and innocence are no guarantee of marital bliss.

Notes:

Original Playwright - Moliere. Translated by Anthony Wise

Synopsis:

This farcical comedy, set in the mid 1960s, is based on Moliere's original play A rich, older man has his young ward trained up - well away from the influence of other men - to be the perfect, submissive wife of his dreams. But true love knows no obstacle and when his fiance accidentally meets an eligible young man, her guardian's increasingly desperate attempts to keep them apart are all doomed to failure. Moliere's portrayal of male insecurity is just as funny today - in a much more politically correct climate - as it was when the play was written in 1662.

Synopsis:

Timothy Mooney creates a new verse version of Moliere's classic battle-of-the-sexes tale. A prospective husband (Arnolphe), thinks he has the perfect solution to keep his future wife chaste. He will keep her ignorant, by locking her up in a convent from the age of four. Fifteen years later, Arnolphe looks to reap the rewards of his patience, but finds that the very ignorance that he has cultivated has also kept her ignorant of the notion that she is not supposed to fall in love with someone else. Every step Arnolphe takes to protect himself from cuckoldry only drives him farther down that path.

Original Playwright - Moliere, adapted by Paddy Gormley from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme

Synopsis:

Having made his money in the rag trade, Monsieur Jourdain prepares for High Society by studying music, dancing, fencing and philosophy. He insists that his daughter, Lucile, will marry royalty. And so she does... sort of. Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (1670) is unjustly neglected. Conceived as a comedie-ballet for Louis XIV, it demands musical resources far beyond the means of present-day theatre producers. And yet its hilarious take on the evergreen theme of social climbing merits pride of place in Moliere's catalogue of satires on human foibles: misanthropy, hypocrisy, greed, etc. This sparkling adaptation brings the play to life for 21st century English-speaking audiences for the first time.

Orgon has welcomed the seemingly perfect Tartuffe into his respectable household but is he all that he seems? Does he speak with divine authority or does he just want to seduce Organ's wife and daughter? Moliere's famous comedy is transported to the modern-day West Midlands in this new spectacular production directed by our new Artistic Director, Roxana Silbert. This hilarious whirlwind of lies, religious hypocrisy and family feuds features one of theatre's most perfect comedy creations, the titular Tartuffe. ReP100 Patron Mark Williams steps into the legendary role having gained national treasure status with roles in the Harry Potter films, the Fast Show and Doctor Who.

Notes:

Original Playwright - Moliere

Synopsis:

Tartuffe is one of Molieres funniest and most controversial comedies. Although it was banned by the Church and led to the playwright's imprisonment, Moliere, as he did in many of his comedies, wrote the play as an indictment of the bourgeoisie, not religion. According to director and adapter Jeff Cohen, Tartuffe is a swindler who could have donned the mantle of any role to dupe his victims. That he picked religion in this instance is due to how easily his bourgeois victimOrgonis duped by his pious charade. It is Orgon who Moliere is bent on skewering, not the Church. Jeff Cohen's new American adaptation, written in verse and rhyming couplets, sets the play in New York City in an earlier Depression-erathe 1930s. His adaptation seeks to employ a particularly American idiom, transposing Moliere's social satire to its American equivalent. In our own present time of outlandish wealth, dashed fortunes, and George Madoff-like swindlers, what better era to look back on than the Great Depression of the 1930s. Moliere spun his comedy from the stock characters of Commedia, and Mr. Cohen spins his from the golden era of American comedians and films.

It's Auckland 2011 and a nouveau riche family is about to be undone by the arrival of Tartuffe. He's no visitor from Hawke's Bay, he's a life coach with the airbrushed charisma of a telly evangelist, a diabolically witted con-man whose appetite for seduction is as firm as his grasp on religious hypocrisy. He only needs a couple of suckers who will fall for his holier-than-thou routine and, in a batty society matron and her idiot son, he's found them. History tells us that false leaders have always been able to inspire a cult-like following and twist good words to evil ends. Welcome to Apocalypse Paritai Drive.

Synopsis:

The play is set in the home of Orgon, a highly successful and well-respected Parisian entrepreneur. A life material and mercantile pursuit has left a void in Orgon's life. He becomes interested in matters religious and spiritual. He is befriended by Tartuffe, a self-righteous and destitute man. Orgon is seduced by his overtly devout ways and his pseudo spiritual spiel. He feels that he would fulfill his spiritual and moral goals by inviting Tartuffe to stay in his house. While Orgon devotes attention to spiritual matters, his wealth, his stunning young wife and his gorgeous daughter will, of course, require care and protection. Tartuffe, naturally, volunteers to provide this care and protection. Despite the loud and desperate warnings from his family and friends, Orgon fails to see through the deception until he signs away all his worldly possessions. But Tartuffe is unmasked by agents of the elite Hypocrisy Squad for the nasty piece of work that he is, and everyone, it is hoped, is consequently the wiser.

Synopsis:

Liz Lochhead's interpretation of the Moliere classic goes much further than just translation. Steeped in everyday and proverbial Scottish rhythms, the action is translated to modern day Edinburgh. And in Lochhead's new creation, the masterpiece retains its classical basis and black comedy whilst retrieving the explicit political satire which bland English translations have long since eradicated.

Tartuffe

A new sparkling and witty version by Roger McGough of Moliere's comedy published as a programme text to accompany the premiere at the Liverpool Everyman on 9 May 2008. Tartuffe is a beacon of piety and in the home of wealthy merchant Orgon he has his feet firmly under the table. But all is not as it seems and as Orgon becomes more enraptured with his new companion the whole city is chattering. Is he a friend, a fraud, a miracle or a hypocrite? The family smell a rat and amidst the frills and frivolity of seventeenth century society they hatch a cunning plan to outwit the wily deceiver before he brings their house crashing down. Moliere wrote Tartuffe in 1664 but the play was banned following its first production in Paris; it wasnt until 1669 that it was revived and became one of his greatest successes.

Synopsis:

A highly original adaptation of Moliere's Tartuffe captures and ignites the frenetic energy of the original seventeenth-century French farce. The story of the foolish patriarch Orgon, duped into giving all he owns to the slimy priest Tartuffe, is relocated into a modern political world of suits and swivel chairs, where paparazzi constantly hound and Tartuffe promises not only salvation but UN diplomacy. Why are the people in power the only ones that can't see the truth? A funny and punchy rhyming script, drawing on slapstick and Commedia dell'Arte, is designed for a flexible cast to accommodate as many or as little as a director may wish. A sell out at its Edinburgh Festival 2008 premiere, this is Physical Farcical Fun. Cast - as performed in Edinburgh - 17m 10f

Notes:

Original Playwright - Moliere. Moliere's masterpiece of world comedy, presented in a translation faithful to the original save for one aspect: it is written in prose instead of verse - an intelligent "heightened" level of language which would not be out of place in any period or setting from the original 1660's to modern day - or with any mood from mirth to menace.

Synopsis:

Rich, powerful but curiously lacking in judgment, Orgon has invited Tartuffe, a self-professed man of God, into his house. Unsurprisingly, Orgon's family is appalled. Orgon grows increasingly infatuated with Tartuffe, going so far as to offer marriage to his daughter. This is followed by a delightful battle of (dim) wits between the daughter and her erstwhile fiance, with her caustic servant Dorine as bemused referee. When Tartuffe makes his long-awaited entrance half way through the play, he is clearly less interested in Orgon's daughter than his wife, Elmire - and not the kind of interest normally considered appropriate for a man of the Lord. What follows is the most famous scene in the play, and one of the funniest in the history of theatre: Tartuffe's intended seduction of Orgon's wife. Intended, but not consummated, since Elmire has hidden her husband under a table to witness the religious hypocrite in action. Tartuffe suffers a setback, but has one more dirty trick in mind before the conclusion of the play.

Synopsis:

The prosperous Orgon is plagued by insecurities, and the growing independence of his family isn't helping. Tartuffe is, though. This strict religious counselor has moved into the household to lay down the law. At least that's how he represents his actions. The family's fight against his tyrannydespite servant Dorine's raucous outspokenness, daughter Mariane's tearful resistance, second wife Elmire's elegant strategems, brother-in-law Cleante's reasoned arguments, and son Damis's near-mayhemat last seems lost, and the loathsome Bible-thumper seems about to take all for himself. The 1669 version of the play that history has left us brings in Louis XIV to save the day, but informed consensus says that Moliere's censored 1664 version, now lost, ended very differently. This new translation/adaptation shows another way things might have gone. A fresh, funny, venturesome approach to a hilarious and ever-timely classic.

Synopsis:

While Argante and Geronte, two domineering, miserly fathers, are away on affairs of business, their respective sons, Octave and Leandre, become embroiled in romantic escapades, despite the vigilance of their servants, who are supposed to keep their charges out of trouble. Octave (son of Argante) has become secretly married to the lovely Hyacinte; while Leandre (son of Geronte) is smitten by a charming "gypsy" girl, Zerbinette. When their fathers return and announce that they have marital plans for their respective sons, both Octave and Leandre are devastated but, fortunately, Scapin, Leandre's clever servant, is at hand, and not without resources. Reassuring the love-sick swains that he will find a way to deal with their pompous fathers, Scapin sets his delightfully devious plot in motionnot only persuading Argante and Geronte that they really want what they don't want and don't want what they do want, but also extracting money from them on the errant lovers' behalf. In the end, as fate would have it, it turns out that Hyacinte is really Geronte's daughter (and the wife that Argante had in mind for Octave all along); and Zerbinette is actually Argante's long-lost offspring (whom he had always intended to be Leandre's bride), so true love does triumph after alland even Scapin (who has tricked them all several times over) is forgiven his hilarious misdeeds.
