Excerpt from The Doctor in Spite of Himself: A Farce in Two Acts Moliere was even in his Own day considered one Of the greatest contemporary actors. Favored by the King, his ideas upheld by the greatest critic Of the age, Boileau, accepted by the general public, he was in every sense of the word a celebrity. On the 17th Of February, 1673, he died at Paris. Le M�decin Malgre Lui The Doctor in Spite of Himsel - was performed at Paris in 1666, at the famous Palais Royal. The play may be considered as an interlude, a relaxation, be tween pieces of a more serious nature. Yet the skill and goor-humor that go to make up this quaint farce, are the work of a master. The play is still seen at frequent intervals at the Com�die Francaise. The Doctor in Spite of Himself calls for the simplest Of settings. Any set representing an Opening in a wood may be used. If a change of scene is not practicable, the entrance to G�ronte's home may be indicated _at the side opposite to the clearing in the wood. If however a change is possible, it is better to have the second and third scenes represent a plain interior.
