The School for Wives - Hobart

THE THEATRE ROYAL PRESENTS A BELL SHAKESPEARE PRODUCTION

Falling in love is never easy. Take our hero Arnolphe for instance. Now here’s a guy who wants desperately to get married but is afraid that a smart woman will cheat on him. His ingenious solution? Enlist the help of a local convent to raise a girl so stupidly innocent that she won’t know the first thing about cheating – let alone the last. In his mind she will be ever-faithful.

The perfect wife. Or is she?

Following on from her success with Twelfth Night, Lee Lewis directs this fresh new translation from Justin Fleming of Moliere’s comedic train-wreck of a love story that tangles innocence with arrogance – and the other way around.
