The Misanthrope
Featuring

Tuesday, October 6 – Sunday, October
11. 2:00 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. Dixon Room 150.
Outrageous and funny, The Misanthrope by Moliere
spotlights the absurdities of social and literary pretension. The
Misanthrope shows us a man who is quick to criticize the hypocrisies,
inconsistencies, and faults of others, yet remains blind to his own. As
“the misanthrope” grows more and more irritable with others, the play
becomes more and more entertaining, even as a happy ending for the hero
seems less and less likely.
