Moliere drew his material directly from the commedia dell’arte, and the classic tropes and archetypes he painted are recognizable today in almost all forms of performance art. He is known as the father of farce, and famously said that his plays were written to be performed and not read. The Miser has slapstick, mime, farce, a whip-cracking pace and plenty of singing and dancing - not to mention a plot that reads like an episode of Schitt’s Creek, all set within the absurd fashions of 17th Century Paris.
This adaptation is a modern take on the original, written beautifully for the West End in 2017, focusing on recreating the theatrical effect of Moliere’s humor on a modern audience, rather than merely translating his words. It’s written in plain English, there’s a very modern rhythm to the jokes, and it’s very funny indeed.
SINGING AND DANCING NOT REQUIRED, BUT ADVANTAGEOUS
If you’re interested in performing some outrageous comedy with even more outrageous costumes, please book a slot - no “straight play” experience necessary! This is going to be a LOT of fun!
