Misery Guts and Tartuffe

One of Scotland's most popular writers, the multi-award-winning Liz Lochhead, takes on Moli?re's most famous play. Le Misanthrope is a bitter comedy about a sophisticated Parisian who cannot help telling uncomfortable truths about his fellow men. Lochhead transposes the setting to present-day Scotland, and instantly injects the zest and vigor typical of her own comedies, most notably Perfect Days.
