Oppineita naisia: Viisinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä

A sparkling Molière comedy unfolds in a Parisian townhouse, where a lively family dinner quickly turns into a clash of ideas. Two sisters, Armande and Henriette, argue fiercely about love, marriage and the pursuit of lofty philosophy versus everyday contentment. Their banter sets the tone for a witty exploration of desire, duty and the absurdities of social expectations.

Around them gather a colorful ensemble: the indulgent patriarch Chrysale, his sharp‑tongued wife Philamante, the flirtatious Clitandre, and a troupe of clever servants who add their own mischief. Each character contributes rapid, razor‑edged dialogue that lampoons pretensions and reveals hidden motives. The setting feels both intimate and theatrical, inviting listeners into a world where sarcasm and sincerity dance together.

The translation preserves Molière’s rhythmic sparkle, making the 17th‑century humor feel fresh for modern ears. Listeners will enjoy the brisk pace, the clever wordplay, and the ever‑present tension between lofty ideals and human cravings. It’s a delightful invitation to laugh at the timeless folly of love and philosophy.
