What To Know About This Production
Molière's The Miser (in French, L'avare) is a five-act stage play generally classified as a comedy of manners. Throughout the play, the author brilliantly blends satire and farce with a fast-moving plot that features many surprises. It was first performed on September 9, 1668, at the court of the French king, Louis XIV. The action takes place in Paris in the 1660s at the residence of an elderly miser named Harpagon. The sun king Louis XIV sits on the throne of France, presiding over an age of high fashion, architectural splendor, titillating gossip, and court intrigue.
