Moliere by Mooney

MOLIRE BY MOONEY brings you two sparkling adaptations from the master of the master! | THE SCHOOL FOR WIVES: Arnolphe has groomed his young ward Agnes to be the perfect, faithful, subservient wife. Now that she has turned 18, he will ask for her hand in marriage- which she will give gladly, of course- and he will no longer live in fear of the mockery and embarrassment that comes with a wife's "independence." All seems to go according to plan, until a handsome young man serendipitously crosses Agnes' path. With his manhood and his reputation at stake, can Arnolphe change his curriculum and lure her back, or will Agnes' love for the "wrong" man, despite all her schooling, prevail? (Cast: 2F, 7M, Flexible) | THE LEARNED LADIES: Henriette's liberated, feminist mother wants her to marry the man she has picked out for her: a posturing, unctuous fop masquerading as a poet! Her father agrees she should marry her true love. The problem? Dad caves in to Mom's wishes at every turn! Will Dad assert his right as the head of the house? Must Henriette flee to a convent to avoid her suitor's insipid poetry? It's the war of the sexes, 17th-century style! (Cast: 5F, 8M)
