Tartuffe Audiobook

" Act One is rather confusing; Moliere hits the audience with a bunch of characters whose roles do not really become clear until somewhere in the middle of Act Two. He sums it up all too quickly in Act Five, leaving the audience a little confused. However, the Wilbur translation is wonderful and I still marvel that it was traslated into such perfect English poetry from French. "

" witty, cleaver, funny, and charming. "

" Read Tartuffe 2ce so far. Love the lies and drama!! Definitely a must read. Very funny!! Yet to read "The Misanthrope". "

" Love the way he sow everything on those days !!!!! "

" Ah.. Good stuff "

" I have always been scared to perform Moliere. The trap of sing-song was always scary to me. But reading it (and working through my fears) was really enjoyable. The dialogue and reparte is so amusing and I hope to see it on stage soon. "

" Grad school. "

" I love these two plays by Moliere - very sarcastic and tart (I think I see myself in Moliere...) "

" Didn't read the Misanthrope, but Tartuffe. For E258. "

" Considering this was written in 1666, it still feels relevant, especially in high school. Love the scene between Arsinoe and Celemene. "

" Great translations of these classic comedies with notes from Wilbur that prove illuminating as well. "

" Wilbur retains the beauty and humor of the original French, and this is the translation that made me fall in love with Moliere. "

" Best Tartuffe translation I've found "

" A great translation by Richard Wilbur. Perfect for selecting monologues to perform on stage. "

" I don't know whether Alceste's undeniable appeal and wit motivated me, or whether I showed up detached and read the play as simple affirmation. Either way, he gives Bartleby a run for his money in my all time favorite barnacles. "

" I read this for a lit class , and maybe it was the translation, but I couldn't get into either of the plays. After Shakespeare and Sophocles, this guy seemed pretty lame. "
