Ankara State Theatre

Written by Jean - Baptiste Poquelin Molière
Translated by Sabahattin Eyüboğlu
Directed by Işıl Kasapoğlu

Molière’s L’Avare is a comedy that deals with the extreme love of money that is felt among the Parisian bourgeoisie. It shows how miserable and ridiculous the contradictions people find themselves in as they prioritise money in their lives and become uncomfortable in their own skin. With its subject and tone that is unapproving of a living style that deems money the main value and the only measurement of life, the play still retains its timeliness. Is Harpagon truly as cruel, cold-hearted, stingy, and bad as they claim? Are some people born like this? Or is Harpagon just a product of literature?
