THE MISANTHROPE
BY ROGER McGOUGH
AFTER MOLIÈRE
Poet Alceste is disgusted with French society and life at court. Powdered fops gossip in code and be-jewelled coquettes whisper behind fans wherever he looks.
He therefore launches into a one-man crusade against fakery, forked-tongues and frippery. The trouble is the biggest culprit of all might well be Célimène, the woman he loves.
As Alceste dreams of a pas de deux, are the only deux of Célimène her faces? And in this rarified world will his revolution just prove revolting?
Master wordsmith Roger McGough dips his quill into a Moliere classic in this mockery of manners and morals amidst 17th century French aristocracy.
