In this acid comedy, the affectation and arrogance of the “wise women” Armanda, Filaminta and Belisa, and they main reference, the “scholar” Trissotin, contrast with the simplicity of Enriqueta and her lover, Clitandro, whose sole aim is to marry and enjoy their love, or also contrast with Crisalo, more concerned with satisfying his gluttony that by cultivating his spirit.

On Friday May 30th at 8.00 PM, will premiere at the hall “Martín
Coronado” of the “San Martín Theatre” (Corrientes Avenue
1530), “Las Mujeres Sabias de MoliÚre”, version and direction
