The Doctor in Spite of Himself and The Bourgeois Gentleman : The Actor's Moliere Vol. 2

Rating:
Summary: A Bad Translation?
Review: These are two comdedies that fail in a modern sense: a woodcutter as a doctor
and a middle class fellow who wants "Culture". Coming from California
I have felt the sting of New York/ east coast snobbery and
wanted to be able to reply.So the Bourgeois Gentleman
isn't funny to me: it is cruel.The Army made a medic of me
despite of my religious history, so I sympathize with the poor woodcutter.
Had the translation been better the plays might have survived them,
but it fails the humor of the plays and they fall flat.
