More Info
From The Big Book of Molière Monologues by actor/author Timothy Mooney. A collection of over 160 of Molière's funniest monologues in new rhymed iambic pentameter versions. Monsieur de Pourceaugnac remains relatively unknown in the English theatre. It may be a lack of viable translations, and a title which does not translate to English with nearly the elegance as the French original (essentially, “Mr. Pig”). Oronte, has promised his daughter, Julia to an outsider, Monseiur de Pourceaugnac, a more financially advantageous match than that with Eraste, to whom Julia was previously pledged. Julia and Eraste enlist their servants, Nerine and Sbrigani, to foil this engagement, and Sbrigani befriends Pourceaugnac as he arrives in town. Eraste pretends to a fond acquaintance with Pourceaugnac, citing supposed memories of adventures together and common friends. He offers to lodge Pourceaugnac while he’s in town, but secretly describes Pourceugnac’s supposed delicate mental condition to a doctor. Early on in the play, it is clear the forces arrayed against Porceaugnac are going to defeat him handily. They then proceed to eviscerate and humiliate him. (At least one suggestion notes that Molière’s troop had been booed in Pourceaugnac’s provincial home town, Limoges.)see less
