Harpagon, which means a hook or grappling iron, obsesses with owning everything and everyone within his sight and grasp. The result is an outlandish farce interspersed with tragic and bitter overtones. Classic Moliere inside and out from top to bottom, a kaleidoscopic whirligig of biting social criticism and insight that will always be timely and relevant.

Harpagon and Frosine - one of the first independent female characters in theater literature.
