The Bores

The Bores

by MOLIÈRE (1622 - 1673)

Moliere: "Never was any Dramatic performance so hurried as this; and it is a thing, I believe, quite new, to have a comedy planned, finished, got up, and played in a fortnight. I do not say this to boast of an impromptu, or to pretend to any reputation on that account: but only to prevent certain people, who might object that I have not introduced here all the species of Bores who are to be found. I know that the number of them is great, both at the Court and in the City, and that, without episodes, I might have composed a comedy of five acts and still have had matter to spare." So with that, who needs a plot? - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Naiad: Leanne Yau Eraste, in love with Orphise: Tomas Peter Damis, guardian to Orphise: Rob Board Lisandre, a bore: Son of the Exiles Alcandre, a bore: Sandra Schmit Alcippe, a bore: alanmapstone Dorante, a bore: Nemo Caritides, a bore: Larry Wilson Ormin, a bore: Roger Melin Filinte, a bore: gawoozle La Montagne, servant to Eraste: ToddHW L'Epine, servant to Damis: Chuck Williamson La Riviere: Joseph Tabler Orphise, in love with Eraste: TJ Burns Orante, a female bore: Sonia Climene, a female bore: Eva Davis Stage Directions: April Walters Edited by: ToddHW
