In one of the funniest plays ever written, Harpagon, a rich miser hoards every cent he can. He deprives his children of the freedom to marry whom they choose. Instead, he uses them to acquire more riches for himself by prearranging wealthy spouses for them. As if this isn't enough, he finds himself infatuated with the same lady that his son loves. With breathtaking skill and hilarity, the delirious plot spirals to a wildly comic finish.
