Clitandre seeks the hand of Henriette, a match heartily approved of by her father. However, her mother Philaminte has other plans - namely marriage to Trissotin, a foppish wit who panders to her intellectual pretensions. Further complications are introduced by Henriette's older sister, who once rejected Clitandre and now resents his attentions to Henriette; by Belise, Henriette's aunt, who believes that all men are wildly in love with her; and by Vadius, a scholar jealous of Trissotin's hold on Philaminte. Needless to say, the course of true love does not run smooth, amid the pseudo-intellectual posturings of Philaminte and her coterie and the power struggle between the parents striving to dispose of their daughter's hand.T0870225427Producer Questors Theatre.
