The Ruskin Group Theatre Company, a local company of actors, directors and writers dedicated to bringing new and classical plays to the forefront of the community, will be performing Molière’s Sganarelle, or the “Imaginary Cuckold” weekends at the Santa Monica Pier throughout May.

The group will stage the play at the far western end of the pier to take advantage of the beautiful Santa Monica Bay sunsets and the natural amphitheater-style seating.

Sganarelle is an Italian farce where every coincidence becomes conclusive proof to both husband and wife. It is widely considered to be one of Molière’s finest and most often produced works.

Performances start at 7 p.m. every Friday and Saturday evening throughout May at the pier (near Mariasol restaurant and Harbor Patrol offices).
