Henriette wishes to marry the man she adores. Is that so much to ask? Apparently so for her overbearing matriarchal mother, her intellectual, sexless sister and her downright randy aunt. These 'learned ladies' have quite the different suitor in mind in the shape of a pompous, bombastic and self-proclaimed 'genius' of poetry. Her downtrodden father is adamant to support Henriette in her choice of husband and so the war begins in hilarious and ridiculous fashion. Set in a lavish Paris salon during the late '80s, 'The Sisterhood' is Ranjit Bolt’s adaptation of Molière’s classic satire, 'Les Femmes Savantes'.
