A comedy of characters and farce in the pure tradition of the genre, The Miser is also a subtle satire of the bourgeoisie in the 17th century. Avarice and tyranny of a father, dissembling, material and moral poverty of the home: the atmosphere at Harpagon's is not cheerful! But then, through his two children, love enters the house. In their race for happiness, Cléante and Élise will learn disobedience, assisted by the valet La Flèche: they will gain their independence.
