Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, dit Moli re (1622-1673) was originally intended for a career at court. His legal training was to stand him in good stead as his plays often aroused the anger and hatred of many prominent social groups including the medical profession and the clergy. Moli re was continually surrounded by controversy and his works were often banned. This volume contains new versions of Moli re's plays by distinguished translators Ranjit Bolt and Gerard Murphy. The Hypochondriac was Moli re's last play. He himself took the title role in the first production on the fourth performance was seized by a coughing fit and died, ending a brilliant yet turbulent career thathad lasted for over thirty years.
