About shows!
In the theatrical adaptation of one of Moliere’s most important farces,
My Husband’s Horns (originally titled Jorge Dandín), we see Jorge, a rich peasant, seeks to raise his social status by marrying the beautiful daughter of the Sostenes de Varilla family. Monsieur Sostenes de Varilla is a financially ruined bourgeoisie who, despite his poverty, refuses to accept the family’s new reality.
The Sostenes de Varilla’s still claim to belong to the high society of the town where they live and thus despise their son-in-law for his humble origins and for not being worthy of Angélica. Jorge, who admits to being a cuckold, tries in vain to unmask his wife’s infidelity; while she cunningly reverses any evidence of infidelity against Jorge himself.
This work presents a social critique where the importance of money surpasses morality and human dignity.
Teatro Nahual masterfully stages this farce with eight fabulous actors on stage and live music. This will be the premiere performance. This performance is 2 hours long with one 15 minute intermission and is appropriate for all ages.

Teatro Nahual is a non-profit organization founded in Santa Clara County in 2003.
The mission is to provide education and entertainment through plays that represent Latin American culture and customs in California and the United States. The productions of this community theater group have the purpose of creating a social conscience and establishing a dialogue that allows informing about cultural, social, and political situations, at the same time that the audience spends a pleasant moment to enjoy theatrical works entirely in Spanish. Nahual Theater is made up of actors, musicians, educators, designers, and people from the community interested in joining efforts to promote the magic of theater. Acting classes are also taught in Spanish for children, youth, and adults since 2004.
