Synopsis
George Dandin, a wealthy farmer, marries Angélique de Sotenville, the daughter of aristocrats who concede to her marriage because of their grave financial difficulties. No one asked the young lady what she might want. Dandin quickly realises that he was a fool to have wanted to marry above his station: his wife won’t give herself to him and humiliates him in public. What’s more, she lets Clitandre, a handsome courtier, whisper sweet nothings in her ear. Dandin tries in vain to prove to his parents-in-law how brazenly their daughter is behaving. His attempts only cause him even more humiliation. The couple’s bickering becomes increasingly violent. Just what will become of this mismatched pair?
