Bores

Book cover
By: (1622-1673)

Bores by Molière is a brilliant comedic play that satirizes the world of high society and the pretentiousness of the elite. The play follows the character of Alceste, a man who despises hypocrisy and insincerity, as he navigates through the ridiculousness of the society he finds himself in.

Molière's sharp wit and clever dialogue make this play a joy to read. The characters are exaggerated and over-the-top, but still manage to feel real and relatable. Alceste's struggle to remain true to himself in a world full of fakeness is both amusing and thought-provoking.

The play's exploration of social norms and human nature is still relevant today, making it a timeless piece of literature. Overall, Bores is a hilarious and insightful play that will have you laughing out loud while also making you think about the nature of society and human relationships.

Book Description:
Moliere: "Never was any Dramatic performance so hurried as this; and it is a thing, I believe, quite new, to have a comedy planned, finished, got up, and played in a fortnight. I do not say this to boast of an impromptu, or to pretend to any reputation on that account: but only to prevent certain people, who might object that I have not introduced here all the species of Bores who are to be found. I know that the number of them is great, both at the Court and in the City, and that, without episodes, I might have composed a comedy of five acts and still have had matter to spare." So with that, who needs a plot? - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Naiad: Leanne Yau Eraste, in love with Orphise: Tomas Peter Damis, guardian to Orphise: Rob Board Lisandre, a bore: Son of the Exiles Alcandre, a bore: Sandra Schmit Alcippe, a bore: alanmapstone Dorante, a bore: Nemo Caritides, a bore: Larry Wilson Ormin, a bore: Roger Melin Filinte, a bore: gawoozle La Montagne, servant to Eraste: ToddHW L'Epine, servant to Damis: Chuck Williamson La Riviere: Joseph Tabler Orphise, in love with Eraste: TJ Burns Orante, a female bore: Sonia Climene, a female bore: Eva Davis Stage Directions: April Walters Edited by: ToddHW
