Blunderer, or The Counterplots, The by Molière (1622 - 1673)

Por: LibriVox
A very early Moliere. From the Translator: "In this piece the plot is carried on ... by a servant, Mascarille, who is the first original personage Molière has created; he is not a mere imitation of the valets of the Italian or classical comedy; he has not the coarseness and base feelings of the servants of his contemporaries, but he is a lineal descendant of Villon, a free and easy fellow, not over nice in the choice or execution of his plans, but inventing new ones after each failure, simply to keep in his hand; not too valiant, except perhaps when in his cups, rather jovial and chaffy, making fun of himself and everybody else besides, no respecter of persons or things, and doomed probably not to die in his bed." - Summary by ToddHWCast list:LELIO, son to PANDOLPHUS: Leanne YauLEANDER, a young gentleman of good birth: Tomas PeterANSELMO, an old man: SoniaPANDOLPHUS, an old man: NemoTRUFALDIN, an old man: ToddHWANDRÈS, a supposed gipsy: Son of the ExilesMASCARILLE, servant to Lelio: Larry WilsonERGASTE, a servant: alanmapstoneA MESSENGER: Zames CurranCELIA, slave to TRUFALDIN: TJ BurnsHIPPOLYTA, daughter to ANSELMO: Eva DavisStage Directions: Devorah AllenEdited by: ToddHW
