The School for Husbands

Molière, a pivotal figure in Western comedy, honed his craft through years of acting and writing, merging Commedia dell'Arte with French comedic traditions. His talent caught the attention of aristocrats, leading to a prestigious performance for Louis XIV at the Louvre. He subsequently gained access to prominent venues like the Salle du Petit-Bourbon and Palais-Royal. Molière's works, including The Affected Ladies, The School for Husbands, and The School for Wives, resonated deeply with Parisian audiences, solidifying his legacy in theatrical history.
