Harpagon, the title character of "The Miser," wishes to marry off his daughter Élise to a wealthy older man who requests no dowry. For his son Cléante he has chosen a widow, and he intends for himself to marry Marianne, a much younger girl. However, he is unaware that Élise is secretly in love with Valère, who is posing as his servant and yes-man, and that Marianne and Cléante are in love. Hilarity and confusion ensue as Harpagon’s plans go awry.
This production of the 17th century comedy will incorporate modern dress. The director, Ian Wight, and cast and crew are currently students and members of Edmonds College's Theatre Arts Student Organization, a student club.
