The School for Wives
The School for Wives
By MOLIÈRE
Translated by MAYA SLATER
Directed by KATHRYN MacMILLAN
November 9 - December 9, 2007 EXTENDED!

Arnolphe (Greg Wood), an aging bachelor, has a brilliant plan. Determined to avoid an unfaithful wife, he'll marry a girl too innocent, and too ignorant, to fool him. But in his house of bumbling servants, awakening passions, and open windows for determined suitors, Arnolphe's plan is bound to backfire. Incomparable Molière, the great master of French farce, crafts the swift unraveling of a pompous man's plan to mold the perfect wife. Also featuring Joshua Browns, Lee Ann Etzold, Joanna Liao, and Luigi Sottile.

"The entire cast is superb! Reminds us of the theatrical pleasures of the great French master!" –Philadelphia Inquirer [More]

"Smart holiday fun!"

"A master class in farcical perfection!"
