George Dandin: or The Abashed Husband by Molière (1622 - 1673)

"The treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle having been ratified ... and peace being assured ... Louis XIV resolved to give a festival in his favorite gardens of Versailles. Moliere's comedy, George Dandin, formed the chief entertainment." The plot: A wife comes home rather late, finds the door shut, and threatens to kill herself if her husband does not let her in. She pretends to do so; the good man rushes out quite terrified; the wife, meanwhile, sneaks in, and he is in his turn locked out. Add in her idiot parents (Sotenville means Idiot In Town) and this should be the usual madcap fun. - Summary by Translator and ToddHWCast list:George Dandin, a rich farmer, husband to Angelique: MajorToastMonsieur De Sotenville, a country gentleman, Angelique's father: ToddHWClitandre, in love with Angelique: Tomas PeterLubin
