The Playhouse at Seattle Center
The Studio
201 Mercer Street Seattle, WA 98109 [map]

by Moliere
Directed by David Taft

Free! Use the "Purchase Tickets" link on the left to make reservations. Performed in rotation in The Playhouse Studio with Pericles, Prince of Tyre by William Shakespeare.

Moliere's set of one act comedies are wonderful examples of a blend of studied wit, informal popular entertainment and low humor reminiscent of the Commedia Dell'Arte. These shows are darkly humorous, illuminating the base human desires of greed, lust and pretense through the use of stock comedic characters. Be prepared to enjoy the verbal and physical antics of unwitting fools in the most dangerous game of love, desire…. and cuckoldry.
