UAB Theatre Presents “The Miser”

Presented by the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Theatre. Written by Molière, directed by Dennis McLernon Love and avarice are delightfully entangled in this sardonic comedy from 1668. Moliere’s notorious character Harpagon is an old skinflint; his every thought, word and action is motivated by greed. Convinced his children are plotting to rob him blind he makes arrangements to marry them off, not for love but monetary gain. Harpagon’s financial paranoia builds with frenzied, comic momentum as the children conspire to teach the tightwad a lesson not soon forgotten. Tickets are $12 and $15; $6 for students; $10 for UAB employees and senior citizens.
