Moliere, the world-famous classic dramatist, lived, played and wrote three hundred years ago. Son of the court tapestry-maker to Louis XIV of France, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin became an actor, and then, taking the stage-name Moliere, himself brought to the stage all the weakness and gaucheness that the tumultuous age set before him every day as France developed a middle class. He depicted the social climber in Les Facheux, turned his murderous humour on the hypocrite in Tartuffe, disparaged the money-worshipping bourgeois in L'Avare... And the list might go on and on of his creations, plays which for three hundred years have given audiences so much pleasure and entertainment - and still do today. Bitter Comedy, Miklos Ronaszegi's vie romancee, presents a lucid account of the life and times of the universally-acclaimed dramatist and of the genesis of his works.
