Can this pompous bachelor really be a match for rival suitors, inept servants, and the wit of his soon-to-be bride? This true classic, written by the master of French farce, is not to be missed! - One of the world’s funniest playwrights, Molière himself played Arnolphe in the first production of The School for Wives.
- Also an actor, director Mark Wing-Davey has appeared in such cult classics as Absolutely Fabulous and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in his native England.
- This production will be set in France in the late 1950s.
