Les femmes savantes

Come and discover or rediscover Molière's Les Femmes savantes, a classic comedy that continues to resonate with its humour and keen observation of human foibles. This emblematic play is presented at La Comédie Saint Michel.

This Molière comedy, Les Femmes savantes, is a biting satire of intellectual pretensions and affectation.

The play wittily explores the conflicts between excessive erudition and simplicity of heart.
