A statement from Lucie Tiberghien
 
I never thought I’d be able to say: Molière in the Park is presenting a
new play by Molière. Yet this is what we’re doing, at a time when the two factors that led to the banning and disappearance of the original script have re-emerged in the U.S. with furious energy: censorship, and willful denialism. Theater for all, as free entertainment, as a catalyst for empathy in our communities and as a conduit for political and social discourse is what we set out to offer when founding Molière in the Park. This English language world premiere, penned 359 years ago, gives us a distinct and immediate chance at  an exciting and terrifying prospect because… how exactly have we evolved in those 359 years?”
