Sganarelle, ou le Cocu imaginaire

In a bustling Parisian square, a proud bourgeois named Sganarelle finds himself tangled in a web of assumptions and rumors. His wife, feisty and clever, seems to attract the attention of every passer‑by, while his father‑in‑law Gorgibus pushes his daughter Célie toward a wealthy suitor she scarcely knows. The stage is set for a lively clash of parental authority, romantic intrigue, and the absurd expectations of 17th‑century society.

As gossip spreads, Sganarelle becomes convinced that he is the unwitting victim of an imagined affair, spiralling into comic paranoia that fuels witty duels of wordplay. The play revels in rapid exchanges, sharp satire, and slapstick moments that highlight the folly of jealousy and the pretensions of social climbing. Listeners will be drawn into a whirlwind of humor and insight, discovering how far a single suspicion can tumble a respectable household into delightful chaos.
