School for Wives

The Centenary Stage Company will launch its 2007-08 season with the hysterical classic comedy Moliere’s School for Wives. Arnolphe, a middle aged business man has decided the only way to avoid being a cuckold, is to marry a very stupid woman. He chooses an innocent girl and locks her away in a convent for thirteen years so she will be ignorant and unspoiled. Needless to say, thing don’t quite work out that way. School for Wives is a perfect gem of confusion, hope, and the agonies of love.
