Answer 2

A person who writes plays is called a playwright, not a playwrite. Look up the word "wright."

Some of the best known French playwrights are Moliere, Jean Anouilh, Jean Giraudoux, Eugene Ionesco (born in Rumania), and Samuel Beckett (born in Ireland).

Answer 3

Perhaps the most famous classical playwright is Moliere, who wrote rather funny satires
like The Hypochondriac, (Le Malade Imaginaire) who wants to marry his daughter to a doctor. Also, Tartuffe, the Hypocrite, fakes religious authority for material gain. (Hm, 200 years old and still relevant today?) These plays are quite funny and easy to read in modern translations.

Jean Anouilh wrote plays in a broad spectrum of genres: tragedy, etc.

Sartre wrote plays expounding his existentialism philosophy, such as No Exit. Raises some interesting questions about our predicament, "what are we doing here?" But still entertaining.


In the same vein, Ionesco founded the Theater of the Absurd, satirizing the alienation of people in society. His plays can be both funny and frightening.
