Originally
scripted in 1665, we are not aware of any play written before this with
a spanking scene.Le
Médecin Malgré lui(The
doctor [physician] in spite of himself) is afarcebyMolièrefirst
performed in 1666 (published as a manuscript in early 1667)
at le Théâtre
du Palais-Royalby
la Troupe du Roi. The picture is the most recent we could find. It is a
performance in 2014 by Teatr Mist from Poland. In the scene, Wojciech
Michno is chastising Aneta Stachyra with a switch. There has been a more
recent performance in Paris, but we cannot find a still. That brilliant
website, Mainstreamspanking, has analysed this play in great detail.
