Overview
Fanatical about protecting his wealth, the paranoid Harpagon (Griff Rhys Jones)
suspects all of trying to filch his fortune, and will go to any length
to protect it. A matchmaker motivated only by money, he sets his sights
on wealthy spouses for his children, so his riches are safe from their
grubby hands.
As true feelings and identities are revealed
will Harpagon allow his children to follow their heart, or will his love
of gold prove all-consuming? Passion and purse strings go head to head
in this rip roaring comedy, by France's greatest dramatist.
