Molière wrote some of the most durable and penetrating comedies of all time. The Imaginary Cuckold and The School for Husbands are two of his grand farces of marriage and misunderstanding, one set in Paris and the other in the provinces. In The School for Husbands, a tyrannical husband-to-be seeks to isolate his ward, while unwittingly carrying her messages of devotion to her lover. In The Imaginary Cuckold, an enraged husband imagines his wife is unfaithful, but is reluctant to defend his honor.

La pièce Les belles-sœurs de Michel Tremblay est née le 4 mars 1968 lors d'une lecture publique dans un minuscule théâtre de la métropole.

À partir de témoignages, de documents d'archives et de photographies, on découvre comment, un jour de 1965, l'idée est venue au jeune Tremblay d'écrire une pièce en joual rassemblant 15 femmes dans une cuisine autour d'un million de timbres-primes Gold Star.
