The Théâtre du Palais-Royal had opened on the 20th January, 1661, with The Love-Tiff and Sganarelle, but as the young wife of Louis XIV., Maria Theresa, daughter of Philip IV., King of Spain, had only lately arrived, and as a taste for the Spanish drama appeared to spring up anew in France, Molière thought perhaps that a heroic comedy in that style might meet with some success, the more so as a company of Spanish actors had been performing in Paris the plays of Lope de Vega and Calderon, since the 24th of July, 1660. Therefore, he brought out, on the 4th of February, 1661, his new play of Don Garcia of Navarre. Molière wished to create a counterpart of Sganarelle, the type of ridiculous jealousy, and to delineate passionate jealousy, its doubts, fears, perplexities and anxieties, and in this he has succeeded admirably. - Summary by Translator Henri Van Laun Cast list: DON GARCIA, Prince of Navarre, in love with Elvira: Kurt DON ALPHONSO, Prince of Leon, thought to be Prince of Castile, under the name of Don Silvio: Adrian Stephens DON ALVAREZ, confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: Tomas Peter DON LOPEZ, another confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: alanmapstone DON PEDRO, gentleman usher to Inez: Larry Wilson DONNA ELVIRA, Princess of Leon: Rapunzelina DONNA INEZ, a Countess, in love with Don Silvio, beloved by Mauregat, the usurper of the Kingdom of Leon: Sonia ELIZA, confidant to Elvira: TJ Burns Stage Directions and Editing: ToddHW]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/74074503</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2026 09:00:39 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74074503/dave_brings_home_a_wife_dramatic_reading_steele_rudd.mp3" length="47793891" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Molière</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Nothing can be more unlike The Pretentious Young Ladies or Sganarelle than Molière's Don Garcia of Navarre.

The Théâtre du Palais-Royal had opened on the 20th January, 1661, with The Love-Tiff and Sganarelle, but as the young wife of Louis XIV., Maria Theresa, daughter of Philip IV., King of Spain, had only lately arrived, and as a taste for the Spanish drama appeared to spring up anew in France, Molière thought perhaps that a heroic comedy in that style might meet with some success, the more so as a company of Spanish actors had been performing in Paris the plays of Lope de Vega and Calderon, since the 24th of July, 1660. Therefore, he brought out, on the 4th of February, 1661, his new play of Don Garcia of Navarre. Molière wished to create a counterpart of Sganarelle, the type of ridiculous jealousy, and to delineate passionate jealousy, its doubts, fears, perplexities and anxieties, and in this he has succeeded admirably. - Summary by Translator Henri Van Laun Cast list: DON GARCIA, Prince of Navarre, in love with Elvira: Kurt DON ALPHONSO, Prince of Leon, thought to be Prince of Castile, under the name of Don Silvio: Adrian Stephens DON ALVAREZ, confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: Tomas Peter DON LOPEZ, another confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: alanmapstone DON PEDRO, gentleman usher to Inez: Larry Wilson DONNA ELVIRA, Princess of Leon: Rapunzelina DONNA INEZ, a Countess, in love with Don Silvio, beloved by Mauregat, the usurper of the Kingdom of Leon: Sonia ELIZA, confidant to Elvira: TJ Burns Stage Directions and Editing: ToddHW]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6993</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/38364696c50486cfc8e931d543b58ee0.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Cabinet Minister-Arthur Wing Pinero</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/cabinet-minister-arthur-wing-pinero--73948334</link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can be more unlike The Pretentious Young Ladies or Sganarelle than Molière's Don Garcia of Navarre.

The Théâtre du Palais-Royal had opened on the 20th January, 1661, with The Love-Tiff and Sganarelle, but as the young wife of Louis XIV., Maria Theresa, daughter of Philip IV., King of Spain, had only lately arrived, and as a taste for the Spanish drama appeared to spring up anew in France, Molière thought perhaps that a heroic comedy in that style might meet with some success, the more so as a company of Spanish actors had been performing in Paris the plays of Lope de Vega and Calderon, since the 24th of July, 1660. Therefore, he brought out, on the 4th of February, 1661, his new play of Don Garcia of Navarre. Molière wished to create a counterpart of Sganarelle, the type of ridiculous jealousy, and to delineate passionate jealousy, its doubts, fears, perplexities and anxieties, and in this he has succeeded admirably. - Summary by Translator Henri Van Laun Cast list: DON GARCIA, Prince of Navarre, in love with Elvira: Kurt DON ALPHONSO, Prince of Leon, thought to be Prince of Castile, under the name of Don Silvio: Adrian Stephens DON ALVAREZ, confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: Tomas Peter DON LOPEZ, another confidant of Don Garcia, in love with Eliza: alanmapstone DON PEDRO, gentleman usher to Inez: Larry Wilson DONNA ELVIRA, Princess of Leon: Rapunzelina DONNA INEZ, a Countess, in love with Don Silvio, beloved by Mauregat, the usurper of the Kingdom of Leon: Sonia ELIZA, confidant to Elvira: TJ Burns Stage Directions and Editing: ToddHW]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72569578</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 21:28:35 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72569578/don_garcia_of_navarre_or_the_jealous_prince_moliere.mp3" length="53489205" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/acf956bb-3cc2-4a27-9c96-9c0eac540705/acf956bb-3cc2-4a27-9c96-9c0eac540705.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/acf956bb-3cc2-4a27-9c96-9c0eac540705/acf956bb-3cc2-4a27-9c96-9c0eac540705.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/acf956bb-3cc2-4a27-9c96-9c0eac540705/acf956bb-3cc2-4a27-9c96-9c0eac540705.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>Molière</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Nothing can be more unlike The Pretentious Young Ladies or Sganarelle than Molière's Don Garcia of Navarre.
