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

Book Review: clear and modern translations of great plays
Summary: 4 Stars

Bermel's translations are funny and sharp and a little bawdier than most, but they will appeal more to modern audiences reared on Mtv and reality shows. The Doctor is especially sharp and would make an excellent piece for college theatre groups. Both bring forth Moliere's satire beautifully.
