A furious husband imagines that his wife is unfaithful, but is unwilling to defend his honor. In this small masterpiece of humor and finesse, Molière skillfully balances misunderstandings.

The suspicion of infidelity, like a terrifying virus, infects each of the characters in the play, and thus each in turn becomes a "made-up cuckold"! Scapino, or the Imaginary Cuckold, is one of the most penetrating farces about marriage and misunderstanding, set in Paris, and is considered one of Molière's most successful works, as he presented it one hundred twenty-two times during his career.

Between comedy and mockery, Scapino touches us because he knows how to make us laugh at what hurts him the most: romantic betrayal!
