2nd Story Theatre Presents SCHOOL FOR WIVES, 11/12-12/12

2nd Story Theatre revisits its most produced and popular playwright with its production of "The School for Wives" by Molière, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur, from November 12 - December 12.  "The School for Wives" revolves around an insecure man who contrives to show the world how to avoid the fate of cuckoldry by marrying the perfect bride.  Richard Wilbur's translation perfectly captures Molière's joyous theatricality.  The appeal of a battle of wits, rhyming verse, mercurial shifts from sacred to profane, the soaring poetry and the base humor, all help make Molière's comedies as fresh today as when they were first written.  

Featuring 2nd Story's Artistic Director, Ed Shea, in a rare stage appearance, this carefree comedy of errors and self-delusion runs Thursday at 7:00pm, Friday and Saturday at 8:00pm and Sunday at 3:00pm.  Preview performances are Friday November 12 at 8:00pm, Saturday November 13 at 8:00pm, and Sunday November 14 at 3:00pm; preview ticket price is $20. Regular performances run Thursday November 18 - Sunday December 12; regular ticket price is $27. Subscription packages are available.  2nd Story Theatre is located at 28 Market St., Warren, RI. For tickets, visit the Box Office, call 401-247-4200 or email boxoffice@2ndStoryTheatre.com.  Visit the website at www.2ndStoryTheatre.com for more information.
