The Miser West End Original Cast Revival

the West End, The Miser will begin previews on March 1st, with an official opening on March 13th 2017. First performed in 1668, The Miser is the well-known comedy by French playwright Molière, who also penned classics such as Tartuffe and The Misanthrope. The Miser follows the paranoid Harpagon, who is extremely fanatical about protecting his abundant wealth. Suspecting everyone as trying to steal his fortune, Harpagon will quite literally go to any length to protect his wealth. Setting his sights on rich spouses for his children, he struggles when his children’s true feelings are revealed. But what will prevail? Will it be the love of his money or his children? Passions and purse-strings go head to head in this perfectly poignant comedy, starring Rhys Jones as the skinflint Harpagon. The Miser is set to play at the Bath Theatre Royal and Richmond Theatre prior to its highly-anticipated run at the Garrick Theatre. Following from political drama This House, The Miser will be a welcome comic turn, due to run from March 1st to June 10th 2017.
