MOLIER

This anecdote inspired Neville Tranter to make a play about one of France's most prominent actors and playwrights. With the help of puppets, Neville Tranter tells the story of both a great writer and and old man struggling with weaknesses, temptations and memories. The characters accompanying Molière in his final days are suspended between realism and imagination – somewhat resembling the people closest to him, but also the characters from his written and unwritten plays. Grotesque human-sized puppets further emphasize this peculiar split between the here and now and the grand and the infinite. The play, in the convention of commedia dell'arte, is also in keeping with this duality – it is both entertaining and moving at the same time.
