Author Molière, 1622-1673
Title L'Étourdi ou les contre-temps
Credits Produced by Laurent Le Guillou
Summary "L'Étourdi ou les contre-temps" by Molière is a comedy written during the mid-17th century. The play centers around the character Lélie, a young man who finds himself embroiled in romantic entanglements and rivalries, particularly concerning his love interest, Célie, and his rival, Léandre. Through witty dialogue and comedic situations, Molière explores themes of love, deception, and social norms, setting the stage for a series of misunderstandings and farcical events. At the start of the play, Lélie is engaged in a conversation with his clever servant Mascarille about his romantic rivalry with Léandre, who is also interested in Célie. Lélie expresses his frustration over the competition for Célie's affection and enlists Mascarille's help to thwart Léandre's plans. The opening scenes introduce various characters and set up the intricate web of relationships and schemes revolving around love and companionship, establishing a comedic tone that Molière is renowned for. Through rapid exchanges and humorous banter, the stage is vividly set for the ensuing chaos that arises from these romantic pursuits. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
