L'Amour Médecin by Jean Molière Dublin Gay Theatre Festival May 2005 |
||
Wonderland Productions' debut at the Dublin Gay Theatre Festival is pure entertainment, a famous French farce, with all the
decadence of the pre-revolutionary love doctors themselves. Expect big white wigs, coquettish sighs, and cross
dressing lovers, as Molière's heroine Lucinde falls mortally ill with an undiagnosed disease - Love. Song, dance and spectacle as Molière's fun and fast farce, L'Amour Médecin, or The Love Doctor is presented in a modern Commedia dell' Arte style.

"a camp, comedic farce, with lots of laughs along the way", GCN Magazine,
"excellent vignette performances from its group of white faced actors" and a "success in stylised comedy which seems to be Alice Coghlan's forte", Scene City. |
