Educating Agnes
By Liz Lochhead
A new version of Moliere’s School for Wives

He’s old, rich and determined to find the perfect wife. She’s young, innocent and in debt to him. He’ll have her by any means possible…School for Wives is Moliere’s dark and wickedly funny farce about one man’s twisted attempts to find a woman he can completely control.

This brand new adaptation, specially commissioned, is our fourth collaboration with Liz Lochhead, following the critical success and popularity of productions such as Beauty and the Beast and Medea, which led Liz to be described as‘Scotland’s greatest living dramatist’ (Scotland on Sunday).

School for Wives is an electrifying, ribald and wonderfully witty new work from one of Scotland’s most celebrated poets and playwrights, known for her exceptional adaptations of Moliere:

‘..brilliantly, raucously and scabrously funny..’ The Sunday Times on Le Misanthrope

‘..Lochhead's gift for and delight in language..is as dazzling as ever..’ The Times on Le Misanthrope
