About the Show
April 15-23, 2022
adapted by David Ives from Le Misanthrope by Moliere,directed by Stephen DiMenna
It’s 1666 and the brightest, wittiest salon in Paris is that of Celimene, a beautiful young widow so known for her satiric tongue she’s being sued for it. Surrounded by shallow suitors, whom she lives off of without surrendering to, Celimene has managed to evade love since her beloved husband died—until today, when Frank appears. This wild farce of furious tempo and stunning verbal display, all in very contemporary couplets, runs variations on Molière’s The Misanthrope, which inspired it. Another incomparable romp from the brilliant author of All in the Timing.
The School for Lies features scenic, costume, lighting and sound designs by the accomplished faculty designers from the University of Minnesota's Department of Theatre Arts & Dance, a noteworthy first.
