Le Médecin malgré lui

Sganarelle is a drunken and facetious woodcutter whom his wife Martine pretends to be a mad doctor: he does not recognize himself as a doctor until he has been beaten! The result is a frenetic series of irresistible quiproquos and situation comedies.

Comedy performed for the first time in Paris on the stage of the Palais Royal theater on 6 August 1666 by the Troupe du Roi, Molière signs here the most famous of his pranks.
