The Misanthrope

What would happen if rock titan Eddie Vedder fell in
love with Top-40 star Britney Spears? If Neil Young
languished for Christina Aguilera? Something would hit
the fan(s), to be sure. In this new verse adaptation of Moliere’s classic, Alceste is a brooding rock
musician who rages against the big music industry
machine–but loves and pursues a pop music princess in
the shapely and commerical mold of Britney and
Christina. Punk-rock divas, promoters, critics, music
hipsters, and dancers fill this world, one not unlike
Moliere’s milieu, the 17th-century court of French
King Louis XIV. Sharp and immediate, The Misanthrope hilariously scrutinizes the fine line between art and commerce, honesty and censure, love and hate.
