Moliere Farce at University of Chicago Court Theatre
Review notes Moliere’s The Confounded Husband staged by Martha and Martin Roth at Court Theatre. George Dandin struggles against his noble wife and her family as infidelity, humiliation, and ritual farce intersect. Roth adds a play within a play and modern touches to heighten absurdity while preserving tragedy of fate. Peter Blake as George leads with strong timing. cast fluctuates on tempo and projection. striking costumes enhance the open air setting.
