A play for 1 man and 1 woman.

TO LOVE THE MOTHER OR MARRY THE DAUGHTER….

In 1661, with the success of Les Précieuses ridicules, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin became Molière. The same year, he decided to leave his mistress, Madeleine Béjart, to marry her daughter, Armande. She’s twenty years younger than him. Twenty years is the number of years he loved Madeleine…

Passion, love marriage, interest marriage? How does Molière tell Madeleine? How does she react?

At the time, the event shocked and caused ridicule. The couple formed by Molière and Madeleine, where genius and love of the theatre are mixed, is modern, funny, painful and forever a part of the history of the theatre.
