Under constant threat of debtors' prison, in big bother with church and state and – worst of all – disastrously in love, Molière writes brilliant, scurrilous comedies inspired by a desperate life. But telling the truth is a dangerous business and his latest drama could be the death of him…
Liz Lochhead's play Thon Man Molière was first performed at the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in 2016, in a production starring Jimmy Chisholm and Siobhan Redmond.
REVIEWS:
"Scandalous affairs and royal tiffs abound in this Scots-tinted take on the brilliant but self-destructive French playwright."
The Guardian
"Complex, hilarious and masterfully executed."
