Theatre Night: The Miser

on BBC Two England

by Moliere
Translated by Alan Drury

The miser loves money above life itself. It takes the whole efforts of his children, their lovers, his unpaid servants and the accomplished courtesan Frosine to make him part with a few francs. When his gold vanishes from its hiding Place in his garden, he must surely be beaten. But in the end, who wins..?
