Newly translated and adapted by UMKC professor Dr. Felicia Londré as part of the city-wide celebration, “KC MOlière: 400 in 2022,” “The Pests” follows the hilarious travails of a French nobleman desperately trying—in the face of continuous interruption—to be on time for a rendezvous with the object of his affection. In his 1661 comedy, “Les Fâcheux,” Molière, one of history’s greatest playwrights, dared to mock the hangers-on at the court of France’s Louis XIV. Surprisingly, this airy little garden-set trifle still has the ring of truth in those who would be adjacent to power some 360 years later! When we performed this delightful story last March as a virtual reading, the enthusiastic audience response persuaded our Artistic Committee to mount a full and lively production!
This production is part of “KC MOlière: 400 in 2022,” a celebration of the 17th Century French playwright and actor, corresponding with what will be his 400th birthday in 2022. More information on the ongoing celebration is available at www.kcmoliere400in2022.com.
