Another masterful adaptation of a Molière Classic, School for Wives, by Culture Clash founder Herbert Siguenza. Set in Sinaloa, Mexico in 1992, Don Ernesto is a Narco king who has a young girl named Eva being trained by nuns to become his loyal subservient wife. He sends his wise cracking housekeeper Armida to get the girl via train. While they wait at the train station Eva has a love at first sight encounter with Mario Grande Jr. who is there for his father’s funeral and Don Ernesto’s rival Narco enemy! This narco-novela-comedy borrows from Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and The Importance of Being Earnest for a wild ride that ends with a double wedding and a Narco family truce!
