About this listen

 Step back into the world of 1661 and 1662, where the brilliant Molière brought to life two iconic plays The School for Husbands and The School for Wives. In this comedic masterpiece, we explore the themes of jealousy and authority as Sganarelle, a possessive lover, grapples with his emotions and the complexities of love. Accompanying him is the clever ward, who, thanks to the wit of love, finds her way to freedom. Join us as we delve into Molières comedic genius and discover how his own marriage may have influenced his perspective. Listen to both plays and witness the evolution of his farcical storytelling. - Summary by ToddHW
