Molière (1622-1673)
France’s greatest comic dramatist, who produced, directed, and acted in the plays he wrote. Many of his comedies addressed serious themes and pointed the way to modern drama and experimental theater.Molière’s works reveal an evolution from farce to more serious comedies of manners and character.
