LISTEN NOW: Brian Bedford in The Misanthrope by Molière.
.latheatreworks · National Broadcast Series
The Misanthrope
Written By: Molière
Starring: Brian Bedford
Directed by: Rosalind Ayres
"★★★★★ Great play. Great recording with dynamic use of sound and fine dramatic narration" —Audible.com Customer Review
This timeless comedy of manners is considered one of Molière’s most probing and mature works. While it’s still an exemplar of 17th century farce, Molière went beyond his usual comic inventiveness to create a world of rich, complex characters, especially in the cynical title character 'Alceste', played here by the Tony Award®-winning actor Brian Bedford (Broadway's Les Misérables).
Includes an interview with Larry F. Norman author of The Public Mirror: Molière and the Social Commerce of Depiction.
Lead funding for this production was made possible with support by the Sidney E. Frank Foundation.
Air Date: January 16, 2026
