Translated by Charles Heron Wall

''The Flying Doctor'' (le Médecin Volant) is a comedic play by Molière, written in the mid-17th century. The story follows Valère, who seeks to marry Lucile but faces opposition from her father, Gorgibus, who intends to marry her to the wealthy but undesirable Villebrequin. To thwart this unwanted marriage, Valère devises a scheme involving his clumsy servant Sganarelle, who pretends to be a doctor to convince Gorgibus that Lucile is too ill to marry. This play is notable for its exploration of deception and romantic intrigue, showcasing Molière's characteristic wit and humor.
