“I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.”, “If you cannot convince them, confuse them.”, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”, “Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive. And don’t ever apologize for anything.”, “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”, “I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.”, “Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.”, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”, “All the President is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.”

WHAT DO THESE MEN

HAVE IN COMMON?

LONg ISLANd PREMIERE!

Molière Than ThouA one-man show written and performed by Timothy Mooney

A scurrilous rumor circulating for the last 300 or so years suggests that Molière is dead, the victim of a coughing seizure amid the performance of his final play, The Imaginary Invalid. Molière is alive and better than ever, and performing under the name Timothy Mooney. Not only is Molière still alive, but in Molière Than Thou, he speaks English! And is every bit as insightful, ribald, irreverent and enthusiastic as the first time around.

Professional actor Timothy Mooney, who has toured throughout the United States and Canada, has rewritten 15 of Molière’s plays in their entirety, bringing a dexterity of English speech to these works that were so dazzling in their original French. In the course of this literate, enthusiastic and hilarious 90-minute one-man play, Mooney parades through some of the best-loved plays in France’s history.

Molière Than Thou reinvigorates Renaissance theater, the court of Louis XIV, and the vision that generated some of the most beloved plays of all time.

Among several other honors, the play won a “Best of Fringe” award from the San Francisco Fringe Festival
