Avare, L'

The aging but vital Harpagon is hoarding every centime he can get his hands on, making sure that his two children, the virginal Elise and the dandy Cleante, live under his iron will. To complicate matters, Elise has fallen in love with the handsome Valere, who masquerades as a servant in the household, despite his noble birth, and, worse yet, Cleante and Harpagon are both smitten with the same woman, the beautiful, if somewhat dim, Marianne. Meanwhile, scheming servants and assorted hustlers angle for Harpagon's incredible wealth, much of which is now buried and protected by snarling Dobermans. The delirious plot spirals to a wildly comic finish, filled with all the masterful plot twists and outrageous revelations one would expect from one of Molière's finest plays.

Batranul, dar vitalul Harpagon, tezaurizeaza in fiecare centime pe care il poate pune pe maini, asigurandu-se ca cei doi copii ai sai, virginala Elise si dandy Cleante, traiesc sub vointa sa de fier. Pentru a complica lucrurile, Elise s-a indragostit de frumosul Valere, care se mascheaza ca servitor in gospodarie, in ciuda nasterii sale nobile si, mai rau, Cleante si Harpagon sunt amandoi amandoi cu aceeasi femeie, frumoasa, chiar daca oarecum slaba. , Marianne.
