Description
"The Blunderer" by Molière is a five-act comedy first performed in 1655. A clever servant named Mascarille devises elaborate schemes to help his master Lelio win the heart of Celia, a young woman enslaved by a miserly old man. But there's one persistent problem: Lelio himself keeps accidentally sabotaging every plan. Through disguises, fake deaths, stolen purses, and mistaken identities, the servant struggles against his master's well-meaning but disastrous interventions in this tale of romantic pursuit and comedic mishaps.
