Moliere - Sganarelle or, The Self-Deceived Husband aka The Imaginary Cuckold: Sganarelle ou Le Cocu Imaginaire

Molière, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin in 1622, abandoned a stable career to pursue his passion for theater, founding the Illustre Théâtre with actress Madeleine Béjart. Despite initial failure, he toured extensively before gaining royal favor in 1658. Renowned for his sharp critiques of society and the church, he created timeless works like "Tartuffe" and "The Misanthrope." His life ended dramatically on stage in 1673, succumbing to tuberculosis while performing, a poignant reflection of his theatrical legacy.
