The Miser

19th - 22nd October 1993

(by Moliere) Fanatical about protecting his wealth, the paranoid Harpagon suspects all of trying to filch his fortune, and will go to any lengths to protect it. A matchmaker motivated only by money, he sets his sights on wealthy spouses for his children, so his riches are safe from their grubby hands.

As true feelings and identities are revealed will Harpagon allow his children to follow their heart, or will his love of gold prove all-consuming? Passion and purse strings go head to head in this rip roaring comedy, by France's greatest dramatist.
