Description: In this detailed and fascinating volume, Gerry McCarthy examines the practice and method of possibly the greatest actor-dramatist, shedding new light on the dramatic intelligence and theatrical understanding of Moliere's writing.
Review Quotes: ""Throughout the book, the author asks interesting questions and proposes stimulating ideas. 'The Theatres of Moliere" could be useful to the nonspecialist with an interest in the theatre practices of the seventeenth century. In the long run, seeing the works of Moliere as fully informed by acting and the actor is a welcome change from conventional literary studies..""
