The School for Lies: A Play Adapted from Molière's the Misanthrope

More about the book

In this comedic adaptation, Frank, much like Molière's Alceste, is disillusioned by societal hypocrisy and faces the consequences of offending a terrible poet. His romantic pursuit of Celimene, a clever widow, takes a twist when she mistakenly thinks he is the illegitimate brother of King Louis XIV, complicating their relationship. David Ives infuses the story with humor and modern flair, creating a lively exploration of love and deception amidst a backdrop of social critique.
