"L'Avare" by Molière is a five-act comedy first performed in 1668. The play centers on Harpagon, an elderly miser whose obsession with his gold overshadows everything else in his life. He schemes to marry a young woman his own son loves, while forcing his daughter into an unwanted match. When his precious cash box is stolen, Harpagon's paranoia explodes as he suspects everyone around him. This fast-paced comedy blends satire and farce,
even breaking the fourth wall to include the audience in its chaos. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
