Plot
The School For Wives at its core is about gender power dynamics We are looking forward to telling this classic 17th century French tale through the lens of a contemporary aesthetic and an all female primarly nonwhite cast to further bring into focus the inherent power of justice and equality over racism and sexism Furthermore by casting a Black woman in the central role of ARNOLPHE a white man of power and privilege who is forced to realize that he cannot control or snuff out ANYONEs humanity we are shining a light on the ultimate absurdity of similar American systems of oppression
