Description |
Harpagon - paranoid buffoon and incarnation of bourgeois greed - lives in self imposed squalor in a neglected mansion. His children are starved of life and of love as a result of their father's monstrous thrift. This marvellous classic is full of pathos and ruthless wit. Molière leads us through a hall of mirrors - we see what it shows us and squirm with delight and shameful recognition.
Jean-Pierre Mignon, renowned for his inventive re-telling of French classics at Anthill Theatre Company in the 1990s, returns to the theatre to direct. The cast will include John Gaden.
