By Molière
Original translation and adaptation by Lib Spry and Laurie Steven
Directed by Andy Massingham
When skinflint Harpagon endeavours to wield his son Clay and daughter Lise as commodities in his effort to dominate the world food market, he sparks a battle between generations and ideologies. The Miser is Molière’s masterpiece of comedy, finely honed with a dark strand of satire, given a fresh and relevant revisioning in today’s world of corporate greed.
“[T]he show is a delight. The clever wordplay and non-stop action are wildly entertaining.”
—Bruce Burwell, Apt613
“an exceptionally good production…”
