The dynamic Black and White Rainbow theatre company return to the White Bear Theatre with THE MISANTHROPE , in the UK premiere of the new translation by Tony Harrison.

Molière’s bitter classic comedy about gossip and status in a cynical society follows the perpetually bad-tempered Alceste on the evening he launches his personal tirade against dishonesty. Vowing to speak the truth to all who come before him, Alceste confronts lovers, potential lovers, friends and enemies, alienating acquaintances ruthlessly and hilariously.

The show played to sell-out houses, and is set to transfer to the Trafalgar Studios in the West End in February 2010.

The White Rainbow production of Molière’s classic social comedy explores the attitude to honesty in the 21st century with a uniquely thrilling and hilarious style.

Ticket price: £12 (Concs £10)
