The Miser
by Moliere
Date/s: 31sy May, 1st June 2002
Synopsis
What happens when a group of Inner City townsfolk try to squirm and wiggle away from the clutches of miserly moneylender Kanjhelingam? Kanjhelingam courts a young woman whom his son loves; and he betroths his daughter to an old man who does not require dowry. Add to this scenario a shady broker, a shrewd matchmaker and a chubby bemused cook; and we have the making of a classic satire.
