About The Book

‘Crimp has treated Moli�re the way Moli�re had treated Plautus: he has seized on the timeless core of the story and recast it with wit and respect. The result is both a genuinely new version of Moli�re’s play and a homage to it. The writing it cool, sharp and ferociously funny… A thrillingly sophisticated modern version of a classical play.’ Sunday Times

Alceste abhors hypocrisy and the well-rehearsed, sycophantic pleasantries of the chattering classes. But having savaged Covington — a theatre critic who thinks he can write plays — Alceste goes on to attack Jennifer, the woman he really loves. What if his determination to tell the truth proves more destructive than their instinct to avoid it?

Moli�re’s greatest comedy, Le Misanthrope (1666), with its fierce argument between conformity and non-conformity, is reworked in this blistering contemporary version.

Martin Crimp’s version of The Misanthrope premiered at the Young Vic Theatre, London, in February 1996 and was revived at the Comedy Theatre, London, in November 2009.
