Production History The School for Wives
By Molière Translated by Maya Slater Directed by Kathryn MacMillan November 9 - December 9, 2007 Arnolphe, 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. "The entire cast is superb! Reminds us of the theatrical pleasures of the great French master!" –The Philadelphia Inquirer "Smart holiday fun!" –Philadelphia Weekly "A master class in farcical perfection!" –Stage Magazine Online
