Broadway.com has an exclusive sneak peek at the revival of this 17th-century-set farce which, inspired by Moliere, follows the antics of a high-minded classical dramatist, a low-brow street clown and a fickle princess. The show is written entirely in iambic pentameter which, based on this clip, the talented stars manage flawlessly. Check out their tricky word play and wacky sight gags below.
