"Under the pretext of a play rehearsal, Molière summons his actors to Versailles and attempts to define an art that is poetic, exacting and innovative. He ridicules the competing actors of the Hôtel de Bourgogne and explains his concept of comedy."
"À l'occasion de la dernière répétition d'un impromptu qui doit être joué devant le roi, Molière prodigue ses conseils à ses comédiens et répond aux attaques de ses adversaires, courtisans, critiques et rivaux, au lendemain de la querelle de l'École des femmes."
"Under the pretext of holding an improvised rehearsal at Versailles, Moliére gathers his actors and attempts to explain his conception of drama while defining the poetics of a rigorous and innovative dramatic art-and in the process settles some accounts with the troupe of the Hôtel de Bourgogne. This play, along with La Critique de L'Ecole des Femmes, served as Moliére's response to the severe criticism of his L'Ecole des Femmes."

"The Impromptu is disarmingly frank, spontaneous, and engaging, and the plot is simplicity itself: a troupe of actors gathers to rehearse a new play. This rehearsal is not, strictly speaking, a real play; it is really a pre-play playfully presenting the "real" actors to an audience which is not really supposed to be present yet. It is a hopelessly fragmented play about the frustrations and rewards of fragmentation; raising questions of power, performance, and the role of the intellectual in social critique. It offers a dazzling argument for intertextuality, reflexivity, and autonomy in the domain of artistic production, while staging some of the major tenets of post-structuralist criticism."
