Portrait of Molière

Molière, the celebrated seventeenth‑century French playwright, transformed comedy into a refined art form that balanced wit with moral insight. His lively depictions of hypocrisy, vanity, and social pretension continue to resonate, offering a timeless reflection of human behaviour and the follies of polite society. Each play reveals his mastery of rhythm, irony, and character, establishing him as one of the cornerstones of European theatre.

Readers and theatregoers alike are drawn to Molière's sharp humour and fearless critique of convention, qualities that have ensured his work's enduring appeal. Whether encountered in translation or the original French, his plays deliver both laughter and pointed commentary, reminding us that satire remains one of literature's most effective mirrors of truth.
