What happens when reality finally catches up to your fantasy life? What happens when your brutal honesty comes back to bite? Alceste’s darkest fears become a reality as the world he has constructed crumbles around him in Lauren Goldman Marshall’s adaptation of Moliere’s The Misanthrope. Based on a concept by Alan DiBona, this “rock ‘n roll” variation on the classic comedy shows us a modern take on this social misfit and his battle for true love.
