In an English translation by George Graveley
Adapted for broadcasting and produced by Wilfrid Grantham
(The recorded broadcast of Dec. 21) Les Fourberies de Scapin belongs to the second flight of Moliere's comedies, and, though written in 1671 near the end of his life, shows a re-turn towards the mannec of his earlier work. In writing it he borrowed both from himself and other writers. Though it contains no social or moral satire and is purely a gay and amusing comedy in the Italian style, it has remained a firm favourite in France up to the present day George Graveley
