Moliere's "Doctor in Spite of Himself" next on Hilberry stage

A theatrical comedy hit since 1666, Moliere's classic "A Doctor in Spite of Himself" will join the repertory at Wayne State's Hilberry Theatre, Nov. 15 - Feb. 8, 2014. The Hilberry's production is translated and directed by world-renowned director and teacher, Arne Zaslove. "I've had a wonderful time translating the play," declares Zaslove. "Moliere is full of wit, descriptions of wild physical antics, puns, and comic dialects; never vulgar or condescending. I hope I've honored the spirit of this great writer, and those audiences and cast alike find the fun and enjoy laughing with and at these characters, who continue to reflect our society today."
