About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Physician In Spite of Himself by Molière. (Translated by Henri van Laun.) Read in English by Roger Melin; ToddHW; alanmapstone; Sandra Schmit; Tomas Peter; Jason in Panama; Devorah Allen; Sonia; Leanne Yau; aravagarwal; Son of the Exiles; Owen Cook The Physician In Spite of Himself … is written in a most unbounded spirit of mirth, the matrimonial breezes wafting a certain amount of refreshing coolness throughout it all. The way in which Sganarelle is dubbed, or rather drubbed a doctor, is highly amusing; and the cure of the dumb girl, and the use which she makes of her recovered speech, contains a philosophical lesson which may be sometimes applied to the way in which nouveaux riches spread their newly acquired wealth. The learned and anatomical disquisitions between Sganarelle and Geronte are also very entertaining, as well as the growth of greed in the rustic physician. - Summary by The Translator Cast list: Geronte, father to Lucinda: ToddHW Leandre, Lucinda's lover: aravagarwal Sganarelle, husband to Martine: Jason in Panama Monsieur Robert, Sganarelle's neighbor: Roger Melin Lucas, husband to Jacqueline: Tomas Peter Valere, Geronte's servant: alanmapstone Thibaut, peasant: Son of the Exiles Perrin, his son: Owen Cook Lucinda, Geronte's daughter: Leanne Yau Martine, Sganarelle's wife: Devorah Allen Jacqueline, nurse at Geronte's, and Lucas' wife: Sonia Stage Directions: Sandra Schmit Editor: ToddHW
