Il Misantropo

In this timeless comedy, the charming but irritable Alceste rails against the hypocrisy and pretentiousness of French society. But when he falls in love with the coquettish Célimène, he finds himself tangled up in the very web of flattery and deceit he loathes. A masterpiece of wit, satire, and romantic intrigue.
