FREN 40.09 Classical French Comedy Made Modern; Molière Past and Present

Molière is France’s best known and most universally loved playwright.  Over three hundred years after his death, his plays continue to dominate the French stage and stages across the world.  In this course, we will explore Molière’s creative genius to understand his profound and lasting influence.  The last third of the course will be devoted to an in-depth study of “Molière in the Park,” a theatre company in Brooklyn founded in 2019. Not open to students who have received credit for FREN 40.04.
