Hindi Play
This adaptation of French playwright Molière’s 14th-century classic, L’École des femmes or The School for Wives, is by Balraj Pandit and Surekha Sikri. Haneef Mohammed did not marry in the firm belief that all women are dishonest and cheat on their husbands. Upon reflection, he decides to customise his bride. The beautiful Husnara is now 16 and Mohammed’s plans to marry her are underway when he is rudely interrupted by the discovery that the fruits of his labour may just fall into another’s lap. Mohammed, with the advantage of age, experience and money—and doubtfully devoted servants to boot—meticulously sets out to outwit the young competitor for Husnara’s affections.
