his company of players. One day, a young lady asks him to follow her to the deathbed
of her mother... Thirteen years earlier, Molire already runs a troupe but goes broke
and is thrown to prison. Fortunately (?) his debt is covered by Monsieur Jourdain,
a rich man who wants him to help him rehearse a one-act play he has written with
a view to seducing a beautiful bright young widow, Climne. As Jourdain is married
to Elmire, and is the respectable father of two daughters his design must remain
secret so Molire is introduced into the house as Tartuffe, an austere priest...Written
