or Mr Waddle, the Outwitted Husband
by Moliere, translated & directed by Philip Osment
7 - 22 July 2006


Self-made man, George Waddle, suspects his wife has a lover and is determined to prove to his impoverished but aristocratic in-laws that their daughter is a two-timing hussy.  But his wife, in cahoots with her lover and her servant, cleverly outwit his befuddled attempts to expose her with hilarious consequences.

First performed in 1668, Molière's comedy cunningly ridicules the snobbery of the aristocracy and the foolish aspirations of the nouveau riche. This vibrant new version threw fresh light onto this classic play with our physical interpretation and chronicle of the characters' farcical antics.

This production was presented by some of the graduates of Graeae's Missing Piece actor training programme and toured the South East.
