Written By

Moliere (as translated by Albert Bermel), Adapted by Alison Carey

 

 

Synopsis

 

Three Moliere farces adapted by Alison Carey and transported to a Southern California shopping mall. The three farces included SGANARELLE (OR THE IMAGINARY CUCKOLD), THE FORCED MARRIAGE, and THE FLYING E.M.T. The plays were "nested," in that the second is a digression/interruption that starts in the middle of the first, and the third is a digression inside of the second. At the end of THE FLYING E.M.T., the action goes back to THE FORCED MARRIAGE, and then finally back to SGANARELLE.

 

The setting is a clothing store: THE LOOK. As the action shifts forwards and back through the three plays, the decor of the store reflects the different seasons.

 Ovation Award Nomination: Best Supporting Actor, Shishir Kurup.
