Royalty-Free One-Act Plays by Moliere

This exciting anthology of one-act plays includes classics such as Anton Chekhov's The Boor and John Millington Synge's Riders to the Sea as well as lesser-known gems such as Alice Gerstenberg's Fourteen and Percival Wilde's The Sequel. Other plays in the collection include August Strindberg's The Stronger, Moliere's The Pretentious Young Ladies, Neith Boyce's Enemies, Horace Holley's The Genius, Susan Glaspell's Trifles, and Ferenc Molnar's A Matter of Husbands.
