The Bungler

In 17th-century Sicily, the clever valet Mascarille attempts to help his clueless boss, Lélie, win over his dream girl, only to face constant setbacks as Lélie's ignorance sabotages each of Mascarille's elaborate schemes. In Molière’s comedic play, The Bungler, translated by Richard Wilbur, the valet's increasingly outrageous plots spiral out of control, leading to humorous consequences. This full cast performance features notable actors, including Richard Easton and Adam Godley, and is accompanied by an insightful interview with a French theatre expert.
