This savagely funny comedy about a love affair between a man and his money gets a dazzling new production at Berkeley Rep. Greed is good if you're Harpagon, who has beggared his family to safeguard his hefty stash of cash. His frustrated children think differently, however, and now they must outsmart the old man to get the money they need to marry the mates they want. Can Harpagon hold onto his hoard (and get himself a hot young bride in the bargain), or will his offspring loosen his stranglehold on the family fortune?

Description

written by Moliere
adapted by David Ball
directed by Dominique Serrand

The Boston Globe says this production, from the Tony Award-winning Theatre de Jeune Lune, has “such grace and wit that it’s churlish to be miserly with one’s praise.” So make an investment in The Miser—you’ll earn laughter with interest.
