The Misanthrope

Theater of The Riverside Church, New York City, Off-Off-Broadway

About the Show

“The friend of mankind is no friend of mine” — the words of an honest man determined to exist in a society ruled by insincerity and a humorless grinch whose only pleasure is the humiliation of others. The only hitch is an obsessive passion for a woman who embodies all that he despises. Absurd and hilarious on the surface, sad and frightening in implication, The Misanthrope is a dazzling look at sincerity, social rules, and romantic love.
