George Dandin ou le Mari confondu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Dandin ou le Mari confondu is a 1668 comedy by Molière.

The play showcases the folly a man commits when he marries a woman of higher rank than his own. Moliere's Dandin is an impersonation of a husband who has patiently to endure all the extravagant whims and fancies of his dame of a wife. A new translation into English by John Allen is to be performed on February 21 to 24 in a studio version, directed by the author, by the Dartington Playgoers (The Playgoers Society of Dartington Hall, Dartington, Totnes, Devon, UK).
