• LA Theatre Works, Sunday, January 25 at 10:00 pm, Moliere's classic, "The Misanthrope" starring Brian Bedford

  This timeless comedy of manners is considered one of Molière’s most probing and mature works.

Includes an interview with Larry F. Norman author of The Public Mirror: Molière and the Social Commerce of Depiction.
