About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Love-Tiff by Molière. (Translated by Henri van Laun.) Read in English by Roger Melin; ToddHW; Sandra Schmit; Sonia; Tomas Peter; Nemo; Adam DeFord; Beth Thomas; alanmapstone; Eva Davis; TJ Burns; Larry Wilson; Leanne Yau "The characters are well delineated, and fathers, lovers, mistresses, and servants all move about amidst a complication of errors from which there is no visible disentangling. The conversation between Valère and Ascanio in man's clothes, the mutual begging pardon of Albert and Polydore, the natural astonishment of Lucile, accused in the presence of her father, and the stratagem of Éraste to get the truth from his servants, are all described in a masterly manner, whilst the tiff between Éraste and Lucile, which gives the title to the piece, as well as their reconciliation, are considered among the best scenes of this play." - Summary by The Translator Cast list: ÉRASTE, in love with Lucile: Nemo ALBERT, father to Lucile: ToddHW GROS-RENÉ, servant to Éraste: Roger Melin VALÈRE, son to Polydore: Adam DeFord POLYDORE, father to Valère: Larry Wilson MASCARILLE, servant to Valère: Tomas Peter METAPHRASTUS, a pedant: alanmapstone LA RAPIÈRE, a bully: Leanne Yau LUCILE, daughter to Albert: Eva Davis ASCANIO, Albert's daughter, in man's clothes: Beth Thomas FROSINE, confidant to Ascanio: TJ Burns MARINETTE, maid to Lucile: Sonia Stage Directions: Sandra Schmit Edited by: ToddHW
