Farce de MaÓtre Pierre Pathelin, La

Synopsis
Pathelin, a slick town lawyer, tricks an avaricious draper out of a length of cloth, but is in turn outwitted by a wily shepherd. Though frequently performed in adaptations in modern French, this is probably the only available recording of the play which closely follows the original text.
