A fresh take on Moliere's classic comedy

Bell Shakespeare’s fresh take on Moliere’s classic comedy, The School For Wives is playing at Illawarra Performing Arts Centre from Tuesday 16 October to Saturday 20 October..

Falling in love is never easy. The story follows a young man who wants desperately to get married, but is afraid that a smart woman will cheat on him.The 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.

Directed by Lee Lewis, The School for Wives brings to life Justin Fleming's acclaimed fresh translation of Molière's comedic train-wreck of a love story that tangles innocence with arrogance - and the other way around. It promises to leave the audience captivated by this theatrical comedy.

Moliere would surely have approved of Justin Fleming's daring new version, a taut, biting and extremely funny masterpiece of translation.
