Molière: The Impostures of Scapin, v1 6 Sep 2008
THE IMPOSTURES OF SCAPIN Les Fourberies de Scapin) (literally, "Scapin's deceits") is a 3-act comedy by French playwright Molière first staged on May 24, 1667 in Paris. This play was shadowed by the play Psyché and brought small profits to the group: an average of 300 "livres" per show (which is only small if one considers their yearly pension of 6000 "livres" from the king.). This play was originally written in French but, like many of Molière's plays, has been translated into many different languages. Bill Irwin and Mark O'Donnell adapted this play into what is simply called Scapin. Despite a few alterations and modernization of language, the play still retains much of its original structure

i highly recommend this book. i've not read any in english but Molière's comedies are hilariously witty and full of biting social criticism and snark before snark was even a word. definitely worth reading.

Okay, MB, just stop posting books! My list of ebooks to read (so many of which you've posted) is absolutely ridiculous and getting ridiculouserererer. Would you just chill for a few months or years and let me catch up, please?
