In 1658, his theater company settled in Paris in the Théâter du Petit-Bourbon.

In 1665, his company became the King's Troupe, and the following year saw the staging of \u003ci\u003eThe Misanthrope\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Doctor in Spite of Himself\u003c\/i\u003e.

In 1673, Molière collapsed onstage while performing his last play, \u003ci\u003eThe Imaginary Invalid\u003c\/i\u003e, and died shortly thereafter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonald M.
