About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of George Dandin: or The Abashed Husband by Moliere. (Translated by Henri van Laun.) Read in English by ToddHW; alanmapstone; Sonia; Leanne Yau; Tomas Peter; TJ Burns; Bhavya; MajorToast; Stefan Von Blon "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 ToddHW Cast list: George Dandin, a rich farmer, husband to Angelique: MajorToast Monsieur De Sotenville, a country gentleman, Angelique's father: ToddHW Clitandre, in love with Angelique: Tomas Peter Lubin, a peasant, Clitandre's servant: alanmapstone Colin, George Dandin's servant: Stefan Von Blon Angelique, George Dandin's wife: Bhavya Madam De Sotenville: Sonia Claudine, Angelique's maid: Leanne Yau Stage Directions: TJ Burns Edited by: ToddHW
