About
You’ll like Molière if you enjoy smart period humor with a light romance and plenty of playful twists; Not for you if you want a play-accurate focus or prefer less romantic/sexual emphasis, like in Up for Love.
Pros: sharp witty dialogue; gorgeous period sets; lots of humor | Cons: romance focus complaints; some feel too sexual
