L'Amour Médecin ("Dr. Cupid") is a French comedy written by Molière (1622–1673)[1], with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632–1687)[2].


The original text

Written as an impromptu, commissioned for one of the Royal Entertainments, it was first presented at Versailles on September 22, 1665. Original music was composed for the play by Jean-Baptiste Lully. Published in Paris in 1666.

Adaptations and translations

There are a number of titles for what appears to be a Dutch adaptation of the play in combination with scenes from Le Médecin Malgré Lui. For example by Fielebout, of de Dokter tegen Dank (by an anonymous writer) was published in 1780, and Klaos Pompernikkel, of Den Doktor tegen Wil en Dank (also by an anonymous author) was published in Mastreeg, 1856.

In South Africa the title Jantje Puk, of Den Doctor tegen Wil en Dank is apparently a similar text, only mentioned by F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 340), as a performance in 1838.
