Stingy
The play was first performed in 1668 at the Palais Royal in a period when Molière's company was, on the one hand, under considerable establishment pressure to modify its output, but on the other hand, under the protection of Louis XIV himself. Little is known about the original performance, although it is said that Molière himself played Harpagon, utilising his by this point chronic cough and gait to humorous effect.
This famous drama was staged by ABT in 2001-02.
It was directed by R.Reha Özcan, scenery and costumes made by Sevtaç Demirer, light design by Hakan Doğan. Müfit Kayacan, Özcan Kayacan, Nilgün Kayacan, Hülya Kayacan, Hasibe Özgür, Mehmet Özgür, Safinaz Özgür, Cenap Aydınoğlu, Yılmaz Arkun, Erdal Gürcan and Gökhan Avkıran took parts.
