The Doctor Despite Himself

Summary: Not every Frenchman could poke fun at his king and get away with it. But then, not all Frenchmen were Moliere. One of the greatest comedy playwrights ever, Moliere didn't manage to get away with poking fun at almost everything that deserved to made fun of, but he actually got away with standing ovations. His most famous work, The Doctor Despite Himself is a striking parody of the world of doctors and physicians. The protagonist, a simple woodcutter, finds himself in the position of having to pretend to be a doctor and manages to pull it off quite beautifully, even with all the quirky incidents that befall him. An absolute must-watch!
