Saturday I took my mentee to a comedic play called "School for Wives", written over 300 years ago at the Geffen in Westwood. The interesting thing about this is that much of today's comedy is derived from situations and characters from plays such as this. The girls enjoyed the playas much as the adults. The story took place in Paris; it was about a wealthy old man who took an orphan in and plotted to keep her uneducated and shielded from the world. In other words just teach her to be a good wife. Of course, as the story unfolds, his plan blows up in his face at the end. Overall it was a great day of culture, comedic history, and even a backstage tour for a MOSTE memorable day.
