Le Médecin Volant is a one-act comedy by French playwright Boursault, a contemporary of Molière. The play centers around Gros-René, a naive valet, who is persuaded by his master, Valère, to masquerade as a traveling doctor in order to deceive Marinette's father, Gorgibus, and win her hand in marriage. The ensuing farce is filled with humorous misunderstandings and comical situations as Gros-René attempts to maintain his charade while navigating Gorgibus's skepticism and Marinette's affections.
This edition offers readers the chance to rediscover a witty and entertaining play from the French classical period, showcasing Boursault's talent for creating amusing characters and engaging comedic scenarios. Le Médecin Volant remains a delightful example of 17th-century French theatre and a testament to the enduring appeal of classic comedy.
