The Forced Marriage by Moliere (Aug-Sep 2009)
Directed by Hannah Ryan
The Forced Marriage(1664), a one-act comedy by French playwright Moliere, is a hilarious play that stands the test of time with its irreverent take on the institution of marriage.

We follow our anti-hero’s quest for enlightenment, from excitement to doubt to genuine dread, while he encounters a motley mix of philosophers, fortune-tellers and potential in-laws. During his journey, the audience will delight in these larger than life characters and their enthusiastically ignorant claims about what it means to be married. Lively fun for the whole family, The Forced Marriage is a slapstick farce that will have you nodding in agreement even as you howl with laughter! See Pictures ....
