In this biting comedy of errors, the hapless Arnolphe is undone by his own double dealing and double standards. The School for Wives was first performed at the Palais Royal Theatre on December 26, 1662, and is considered by many to be Molière’s masterpiece. Richard Wilbur’s subtle verse translation illuminates the great master of comedy at his wittiest. A Court Theatre co-production.

Recorded before a live audience a the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, Skokie in October of 1998.
