The clever wives uncover his scheme and orchestrate a series of hilarious pranks to teach him a lesson. Meanwhile, romantic entanglements and mistaken identities ripple through the town, culminating in a jubilant finale that celebrates wit, loyalty, and love.
One performance only—book early to avoid disappointment.
