The School for Wives

By Moliere
Directed by Robert Cohen

June 19 to August 30, 2008

in the Randall L. Jones Theatre

Arnolphe has trained Agnes since childhood to be his wife, teaching her only to sew, pray, and serve him. But as their wedding approaches his plan goes ridiculously awry: Agnes is so innocent she doesn’t know better than to fall in love—with someone else. A frothy, hilarious take on love and marriage, this classic farce will tickle every funny bone in your body.
