 Moliere - The Last Laugh 

On the night of his death, France’s greatest comic playwright performs one final confession. Alone, feverish, and defiant, Molière weighs the laughter he inspired against the scandals he provoked, his legacy against his failing mortality. Blending humour, confession, and inventive stagecraft, Molière: The Last Laugh offers a darkly witty, intimate portrait of a man who refused to stop performing, even in his final breath.

Moliere - the Last Laugh

Welcome to Perfect Fools’ latest production - Moliere: The Last Laugh.

Joint winners of the Prague Fringe Festival's Outstanding Performance Award in 2013, the company's latest offering is a vivid, highly theatrical portrait of an artist condemned in life and crowned in death.

After collapsing on stage during The Imaginary Invalid, France’s greatest comic playwright retreats to his dressing room to recover. Alone, feverish, and defiant, he rings for servants who never come. In their absence, he invites the audience to witness his final confession — to settle the accounts of his life by weighing the laughter he inspired against the scandals he provoked, his legacy against his failing mortality.

Blending humour, confession, and inventive stagecraft, Molière: The Last Laugh offers an intimate, poetic portrait of a man who refused to stop performing, even in his final breath.
