Editorial Reviews

NY Post

...warmth, the richness of smiling humanity and a marvelous quality of humorous zest.

NY Times

It once more shows that Molière can be funny, blithe and totally enchanting.

NY Newsday

...a thing of joy...a carefree, happy and sparkling romp to be seen and enjoyed by young and old alike.

From the Publisher

Ranjit Bolt's gleeful, engaging translation - retains the lively lyrical rhythm of Moliere's verse, but recasts it robustly to keep the sense of mischievous novelty and shock the play carried in 1662.” —Guardian
