The Misanthrope

The Misanthrope, or the Cantankerous Lover. Comedy play by Moliere probably one of his best!

First in-house production of Hemar Theatre at South Kensington.

Classical comedy by Moliere

"The play satirizes the hypocrisy of French aristocratic society, but it also engages a more serious tone when pointing out the flaws which all humans possess. The play differs from other farces at the time by employing dynamic character like Alceste and Célimène as opposed to the traditionally flat characters used by most satirists to criticize problems in society."
