Play Description
Though Molières original 17th century comedy was a satire of the French aristocracy, this production directs the play's sardonic criticisms and razor-sharp wit at the queens and kings of today's music industry. Dramatizing the extremes of deceit, honesty, and jealousy, The Misanthrope proves its timelessness as it explores the underbelly of our most commonplace interactions.
