Theatrics & DUCTAC in aid of the Dubai Autism Center present Molière’s classic farce

THE WOULD-BE GENTLEMAN



Friday 24 - Saturday 25 April 2009 and on Friday 8 - Saturday 9 May 2009
Two shows each day: Matinee-2pm and Evening-8pm

Five-act play in English

Since The Would-be Gentleman first opened, before the Sun King, Louis XIV, in 1669, generations of theatre lovers have loved its acute observation of human nature and its irreverent send up of our follies and pretensions. Aristocrat, merchant and commoner alike, men and women, parents and children, husbands and wives, none can escape Molière’s acerbic wit, and none is spared a merciless lampooning. Combined with Molière’s mastery of stagecraft and comic construction, The Would-be Gentleman has remained a staple in theatre seasons across the world for nearly 350 years.

Theatrics’ production of this classic is directed by K. Chandrasekhar, who has been associated with the theatre for over twenty-five years, first with the Delhi group, Chingari, and later with Theatrics in Dubai. Chandra has directed plays in English, French and Hindi, and has also worked extensively in television.

Tickets: AED 50
