Molière’s 1666 satire of French aristocracy is re-imagined by one of Britain’s leading theatrical voices. Martin Crimp places the Misanthrope in a contemporary cult of celebrity, in order to portray men as they are: foolish, righteous, and horny for the young bombshell movie star who soaks up all the attention.
