I reviewed each of the plays acted on this audiobook individually, so this review just pertains to the quality of this audiobook.I enjoyed the contents of this book--[a:Molière|29837|Molière|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1219168412p2/29837.jpg]'s most famous works, as well as some of ...
How disappointing! I really liked this play when I first read it way back in middle school. It was my first exposure to [a:Molière|29837|Molière|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1219168412p2/29837.jpg], and I remembered being so impressed with his work. I am still impressed with Moliè...
Part farce, part romance, part psychological study a la [b:Othello|12996|Othello|William Shakespeare|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327871225s/12996.jpg|995103]. There's some amount of goofiness about this play, but there is also a real truth here about how love and sex can can lead us...
2.5 stars.What I liked: This play represents a very progressive (for its time) view of women. It makes clear that they should be allowed to make their own choices, be treated as adults, be trusted and loved.What I didn't like: The poor old man was really mistreated. Now granted, for the time thi...
Mildly humorous comedy of errors. Once again, this reminded me of some of [a:William Shakespeare|947|William Shakespeare|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1360741702p2/947.jpg]'s comedies, but I found this one to be somewhat funnier. It was very short, but I think the length suited the material. Par...
What is Comedy? What makes us laugh in theatre? A great deal has been written about this and this review could not do the concept justice. But reading and watching recently a performance of Molière’s L’École des Femmes raised the matter in front of my eyes.In this play, which as most of Molière’s ...
This is a play about a middle class merchant whose goal in life is to become a member of the aristocracy and he tries many things, including arranging his daughter's marriage, to achieve that goal. In a way this desire is almost an obsession, and his friends take advantage of this by playing a joke ...
This play is quite a farcical piece of work and I suspect it is making fun of many of the quacks that were running around Europe at the time promising miracle cures (though nothing much has changed with the exception that miracle cures are now peddled by massive pharmaceutical companies over televis...
One of the things that I like about reading plays is that they tend to be short and are easy to get through in a short amount of time. However the problem I have is that since they tend to be written so as to be performed on stage (in the same way that poetry is generally written to be read aloud) i...
