Molière pour rire et pour pleurer

In 1642, Jean Poquelin, an ordinary upholsterer to the King, urges his son Jean‑Baptiste to become a lawyer. But Jean‑Baptiste is irresistibly drawn to the theatre — and to the actress Madeleine Béjart. Supported by her family, the young man founds “L’Illustre Théâtre,” a troupe devoted to tragic drama.
