How to lose friends and infuriate people! Disgusted with French society, where powdered fops gossip in code and be-jewelled coquettes whisper behind fans, poet Alceste embarks on a one-man crusade against fakery, frippery and forked tongues. But could the woman he adores be the worst culprit of them all? And in this rarefied world will his revolution prove merely revolting…? Following the huge success of Tartuffe and The Hypochondriac, The Misanthrope reunites the dream team of Molière, McGough and Bodinetz for this mockery of manners and morals set amid 17th century French aristocracy. The Misanthrope will tour the UK with English Touring Theatre in Spring 2013. Cast includes: Neil Caple, Simon Coates, George Potts and Colin Tierney
