Brillant ! Molière is so subtile, and this performance is the best i've ever seen, even among french ones. I'm french.

I open in two and a half weeks and im play Damis in my first ever role and we kept the verse. We're doing the version translated by Wilbur.

This is a great interpretation and play but the shaking makes me dizzy.

[@dantean]

The verse should have been retained. The prose feels leaden by comparison to, say, the Richard Wilbur translation--even in spite of the marvelous acting.

Good, verse out better. Naturalism. Ibsen's lesson.
