LIGHTING DESIGNER
UNIVERSITY OF YORK (SPRING 2016)
DIRECTED BY VENETIA COOK
Two of the most hilarious French comedies in a unique double bill.
George Dandin and The Suitors are masterpieces by the greatest playwrights of the French 17th century, Molière and Jean Racine.
Both premiered within the same month in 1668, the two plays centre on their lead characters’ obsessive pursuit of their goals. They form a comical match made in heaven.
The Suitors centres on a judge who cannot stop judging, in everyday life as well as his court. His delusions cause hilarious and outrageous complications for all those around him.
