The Flying Doctor
Note
Not yet published.Description
Valère and Lucile are in love with each other, but Lucile’s father wants her to marry a wealthy old man instead. Not to worry, a plot is hatched — Lucile will pretend to be sick, and Valère will send his servant Sganarelle, disguised as a doctor, to attend to her. The bogus doctor will recommend to Lucile’s father that she should be moved to a more healthy location (where Valère and she can secretly reunite and marry). What could possibly go wrong? Plenty. In the end, Sganarelle ends up having to be two people at the same time.

Mark HaywoodMark Haywood is a British poet and composer. He enjoys working with the challenges of formal poetry, particularly the sonnet and the limerick, and has had several sonnets and sonnet sequences published in the UK, Canada and the USA. Some of his sequences have dealt with topics that are uncommon in the sonnet form, for example art criticism and jazz theory. Mark is currently working on translating some of Molière’s classic comedies into rhyming verse. Some of this work has been shortlisted and longlisted in the John Dryden Translation Competition. In addition to writing poetry, Mark enjoys composing and has had two collections of piano music published, one of which is a book of ragtime. He has also had some articles on jazz published.
