A new adapted version of the classic Molière work The Misanthrope is opening this week at Tarragon. In this interpretation; "Molière's fierce satire about personal and aesthetic integrity is set in today’s celebrity culture machine. Despite the Misanthrope’s biting critique of the film industry, he has fallen in love with a rising starlet. Torn between desire and unflinching morality, our contemporary anti-hero strikes out at hypocrisy in a world shamelessly built on it. Will love or misanthropy triumph?" (Tarragontheatre.com)
Sounds really interesting to us, we are checking the show out on Thursday and will let you know what we think!
