The Miser

Translated and adapted by David Chambers
With revisions by Lucie Tiberghien, employing direct translation from the original French.

Directed by Lucie Tiberghien
with Molière in the Park

Written in 1668 and presented upward of 2,500 times over the next 350 years at the Comédie Française alone, The Miser is Molière’s most successful play, both in France and internationally. Harpagon, a newly widowed geezer, consumed by fear of losing his wealth, will do anything to save his fortune. When he announces that he has found love again and is ready to wed, the ultimate rebellion begins.

Molière’s most successful play shines in this reenvisioning by the artists of Molière in the Park, using non-traditional casting choices—casting women in male roles and swapping genders—to deconstruct The Miser’s complex power dynamics.

The Miser is presented by L’Alliance New York and produced by Molière in the Park
