Story for The Misanthrope at NY City Center
The Pearl Theatre Company will present Moliére's The Misanthrope, a translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur, directed by Joseph Hanreddy.
The Misanthrope follows the hilariously thorny love life of the irascible Alceste and the coquettish Célimène, who put the concept of “opposites attract” to the ultimate test. Richard Wilbur’s masterful translation of Molière’s wryly personal comedy begs the question: Can love really be this blind?
