The School For Husbands

The School for Husbands (L'Ecole des maris) is a work by Moliere (the stage name of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin), a French playwright who is often considered to be one of Western literature's great masters of comedy. In a theatre in the Louvre and in the Palais-Royal, Moliere found success among the Parisians with The School for Husbands. First performed in 1661, it forms part of Moliere's "Jealousy series", which includes ou Le Cocu imaginaire (The Imaginary Cuckold), Dom Garcie de Navarre ou Le Prince jaloux (The Jealous Prince), and L'Ecole des femmes (The School for Wives).
