Paris. Late 17th century.

When fifty-three year old Sganarelle begins to doubt his decision to marry a woman less than half his age, he is plunged into crisis. His scepticism takes him on an absurd journey through Paris, seeking advice from philosophers and fortune tellers before finally summoning the courage to talk with the father of the bride…

Molière’s rarely staged comédie-ballet is brought to life with a live baroque string quartet and fiercely physical comedy.

This production of Le Mariage forcé will be performed in the original French with plot synopses provided to audience members upon arrival.
