NEW YORK THEATRE WORKSHOP

The Misanthrope by Molière directed by Ivo van Hove Iconoclastic director Ivo van Hove stunned NYTW audiences with his critically acclaimed 2004 production of HEDDA GABLER. This season van Hove returns to NYTW - his American home - with a world premiere production of THE MISANTHROPE, Molière's classic comedy about the absurdities of social conventions and pretensions. As with HEDDA GABLER, van Hove will revitalize THE MISANTHROPE with a fresh, modern perspective - viewing Molière's text through the lens of our society in which the traditional social fabric has frayed and virtual relationships can be deleted with the simple push of a button.
