Great Plays
The School for Husbands
von
The School for Husbands is a comedy by Molière about marriage, jealousy, and the struggle to control the choices of those one loves. Its central contrast is between a possessive husband who tries to direct his young ward’s future and a more trusting man who allows his beloved greater freedom.
In this radio presentation from Great Plays, the story unfolds as a dramatic performance, bringing Molière’s lively dialogue and comic misunderstandings to the listener. The play’s romantic entanglements and competing ideas about affection give the action its momentum.
The result is a witty, theatrical comedy with a sharp edge: beneath the courtship and farce lies a playful challenge to jealousy and overbearing authority. Listeners can enjoy the verbal sparring and the timeless clash between control and trust.
