By: Gabrielle Sierra Jul. 09, 2009
The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey celebrates the summer with Molière's farce The School for Wives, directed by Brian B. Crowe running now through July 26.
The School for Wives is performed on the Shakespeare Theatre Main Stage - The F. M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre, 36 Madison Avenue at Lancaster Road in Madison. Single tickets for The School for Wives range in price from $39 to $54 depending on performance day and time. For tickets or more information call 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org.
Jean Baptiste Molière, considered one of the great masters of comedy, penned such audience favorites as The Miser, Tartuffe and The Misanthrope.
In The School for Wives, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur, a pompous middle-aged bachelor is determined to mold his ward into the perfect bride - for himself! But, it is he who gets the true education when best laid plans fall prey to a determined rival suitor, a pair of inept servants, and true love.
