POCATELLO 鈥� The French playwright Moliere鈥檚 razor-sharp observations about love, marriage and desire come to life in the play 鈥淭he School For Wives鈥� that will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6, 7, 13 and 14 and during a matinee at 2 p.m. Nov. 14 by the 天美传媒 Department of Theatre and Dance.

The play will be performed in the 天美传媒 Stephens Performing Arts Center Bistline Theatre.

鈥淯pdating 鈥楾he School for Wives鈥� to the early 1900s and placing it in America also brings new life to the play,鈥� said Sherri Dienstfrey-Swanson, the play鈥檚 director and 天美传媒 professor of theatre. 鈥淎udiences will find the production charming, funny, visibly pleasing, and accessible.鈥�

A physical comedy, 鈥淭he School for Wives鈥� tells the story of Arnolphe, who believes he has shrewdly concocted the perfect plan to woo a much younger woman to be his wife. Naturally, all of Arnolphe鈥檚 scheming is rendered useless, revealing that youth and innocence are no assurance of marital bliss.
