In this biting comedy of errors, the hapless Arnolphe is undone by his own twice dealing and twice standards. THE INSTITUTION for Wives was first performed on the Palais Royal theatre on December 26, 1662, and is known as by many to become Moliere’s masterpiece. Richard Wilbur’s refined verse translation illuminates the great master of comedy at his wittiest.
