About the Author
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name, Molière (January 15, 1622 February 17, 1673), was a French dramatist, director, theatre manager and actor. He is considered one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature. From a prosperous family and having studied at the Jesuit Clermont College (now Lycée Louis-le-Grand), Molière left with a good education to begin a life in the theatre. Thirteen years on the road as an actor helped him to polish his comic abilities while he also began writing, combining Commedia dell"Arte elements with the more refined French comedy. Other Molière plays produced by L.A. Theatre Works include The School For Wives and The Imaginary Invalid
