Der Geizige (The Miser) - PeterLicht nach Moliere
In Molière’s “The Miser,” Harpagon is in the displeasing situation of being surrounded by young people waiting for him to die in order to get at his inheritance and wealth. Yet the mistrust of his children and servants is what gives Harpagon the needed energy to continue living. But the pressure increases: What happens to the heirs when the old only get older? Harpagon gives a dinner and at the table one talks – of money and generations.
