Le Médecin Malgré Lui in Paris

Molière's classic farce *Le Médecin malgré lui* returns to Paris for a summer run. The play, first staged in 1666, follows Sganarelle, a drunken woodcutter who is forced to pose as a doctor after his wife's revenge scheme. Audiences can expect sharp comedic satire of 17th-century French medicine, complete with mistaken identities and farcical twists.

The story centers on Sganarelle's reluctant medical career, as he is tasked with curing a young woman who is only pretending to be mute to avoid an arranged marriage. The play features a cast of memorable characters, including the clever wife Martine, the lovesick Lucinde, and the wealthy bourgeois Géronte.

This production offers a chance to experience one of Molière's most enduring works in the heart of Paris. The play's timeless humor and critique of social pretensions make it a delightful choice for both theater enthusiasts and newcomers to French classical comedy.
