when the secrets of stage acting bring about riotous laughter

THE WORST PATIENTS ARE THOSE WHO DON’T WANT TO BE CURED. A group of young actors on tour perform an anthology of finely woven scenes from pieces written by Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, a.k.a. Molière: Le Médecin volant (The Flying Doctor) (1645) and Le Médecin malgré lui (A Doctor in Spite of Himself) (1666).
There is some question, of course, of feigned illness and disguised or impostor doctors. Above all, for Molière, there is some question about letting the laws of nature and desire, the rights of men and women who prefer pleasure, triumph over the austere lessons of all these solemn doctors or spiritual advisers.
