Harpagon Is The Miser!!! by Urbánek, Sa. 12 März 2022, Ab (2021/2022), Unter der Regie von Vojtěch Štěpánek, Dirigat Marek Prášil, Jakub Žídek, Divadlo Jiřího Myrona ( Jiří Myron Theatre), Ostrava, Tschechien

It is an original musical based on one of the most famous classical comedies that follows the Pythons. Harpagon, an oddball, who is considered to be filthy rich and mean, decides to arrange three weddings on the same day—his daughter’s, his son’s, and his own. Of course, for one price! But there is a catch. Harpagon wants to marry Mariane, his son’s secret lover. At the same time, he wants his son Cléante to marry an eager German widow Gerda, and his daughter Elis, who is a secret lover of the steward Valére, is supposed to marry a hundred-year-old millionaire Anselmo… Moreover, a matchmaker Frosine and a wide range of Harpagon’s bizarre relatives—who are none other than the protagonists of Molière’s other plays—appear in the musical. This is the Harpagon as you know him, yet like a breath of fresh air.
