One of the best loved French plays L'AVARE is the story of Harpagon a wealthy merchant who loans money at usurers’ fees. His obsession for material gain obscures his duties as a father.

But both, Cleante, in love with this young lady and Elise, secretly engaged to Valere, refuse to obey their father. The conflict comes to a head when Harpagon’s dearest possession, his moneybox full of gold, gets stolen in an attempt to force him to abandon his plans.
