Liz and Hugh Preston have been living a life of perfect harmony for fifteen years — what one commonly calls “happiness.” But this peaceful bliss has gradually led to a certain boredom, prompting one of the spouses to cheat on the other — what one frankly calls “adultery.” But who, in fact, is responsible for this minor disaster? Hugh claims it’s Liz. His wife, on the other hand, has good reason to believe it’s her husband who strayed. Fortunately, Hugh will find a way to defend his love and save their marriage. He’ll use a tactic that seems absurd at first, but ultimately proves effective…
Tartuffe is a hypocritical impostor who manages to manipulate Orgon, a wealthy widowed bourgeois, by feigning devotion. Orgon ends up offering his daughter Mariane in marriage to Tartuffe, while he disowns his son Damis and intends to donate all his possessions to Tartuffe. Elmire, Orgon's young wife, whom Tartuffe is courting, will attempt to expose him, while the royal family intervenes to prevent the ruin of Orgon's family.
Marquise is a drama about the rise and fall of a beauteous actress. As cheerfully portrayed by Sophie Marceau, the eponymous heroine is an engagingly ribald, but perhaps rather too modern, character. She rises from an impoverished background to become a favourite of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and the mistress of the celebrated Racine, who wrote roles especially for her; but her fate, in the end, is a tragic one.

This is an opportunity for him to introduce Molière's language to novices and to showcase his work, which still touches and speaks to us today. Recorded for Olympia TV (Canal+ Group) during the 5th edition of the Horizons Festival at the Beit Lessin Theater in Tel Aviv on October 26, 2022, in Israel.
Why do we often go to dinners we don't want to attend, to see friends who aren't really friends anymore? Out of habit? Out of kindness? Out of cowardice? Intoxicated by the idea of tidying up their schedules by sorting through their old friends, Pierre and Clotilde Lecoeur (played by ERIC ELMOSNINO and LYSIANE MEIS) decide to organize farewell dinners, the ultimate form of friendly divorce. However, by choosing - as their first victim - Antoine Royer (played by GUILLAUME DE TONQUÉDEC), their oldest friend, Pierre and Clotilde are unaware that they are getting caught up in a downward spiral.
Serge Tanneur is at the pinnacle of his acting career when he decides to turn his back on show business and become a hermit living off of France’s Atlantic coast. Three years later, Gauthier Valence, a beloved TV actor, shows up on the island to offer Serge a role in his directorial debut – a rendition of Molière’s classic play, “The Misanthrope”. Serge refuses at first, but then suggests that they rehearse the first scene and after five days he’ll decide if he wants to dothe play or not. What ensues is a battle of brawn and wits and peculiar encounters with a hotel maid who longs to be a pornstar and an Italian divorcée.
Sherlock and Doctor Watson are back and investigate the curious disappearance of an exceptional diamond in a hotel room. A theater adaptation of one of the 56 short stories featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes.
