Prague Fringe: Moliere: The Last Laugh

After collapsing onstage during a performance of The Imaginary Invalid, France’s greatest comic playwright, Molière, retreats to his dressing room to recover. Alone and frail, he rings for servants – who never come. In defiance, he invites the audience to witness his final confession, seeking to settle the accounts of his life: to weigh laughter against scandal, art against mortality.

Molière: The Last Laugh marks Perfect Fools’ triumphant return to the Prague Fringe. Joint winners of the Outstanding Performance Award in 2013, this new production is a highly theatrical portrait of an artist condemned in life yet crowned in death.

Blending humour, confession, and inventive theatricality, Molière: The Last Laugh offers a powerful, intimate portrait of an artist who would rather die performing than fade away in silence.
