La Bête (1991) is a comedy by American playwright David Hirson. Written in rhymed couplets of iambic pentameter the Molière-inspired story set in 17th century France pits dignified stuffy Elomire the head of the royal court-sponsored theatre troupe against the foppish frivolous street entertainer Valere whom the troupe’s patron Prince Conti wishes them to bring aboard.
