About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The School for Husbands by Molière. (Translated by Henri van Laun.) Read in English by a full cast. In 1661 and 1662 Moliere presented the plays The School for Husbands (this one) and then The School for Wives. "The central situations of the two have much in common: the arbitrary and jealous lover to whom circumstances have given almost the authority of a husband: the simple ward rescued from physical constraint by the unfettered cunning of love." In between writing the two plays he got married. Listen to both and see if this comedic genius of the farce changed his attitude. - Summary by ToddHW and The Translator Cast list: Sganarelle: Nemo Ariste, his brother: ToddHW Valere, lover to Isabella: Peter Tucker Ergaste, servant to Valere: Tomas Peter A Magistrate: alanmapstone A Notary: Zames Curran Isabella: Sonia Leonor, her sister: Leanne Yau Lisette, maid to Isabella: Availle Stage Directions: Sandra Schmit Edited by: ToddHW
