The Hater is a modern (postmodern?) adaptation (bastardization?) of Molière’s The Misanthrope set on a current-day liberal arts college campus. Contemporary foibles and trigger warnings abound as Al, a professor of history, takes dead aim at the right, the left, and every irrational and annoying thing in between (except himself, of course!). It’s a timely, cathartic, and hilarious retelling of the Molière classic.

The play is presented as part of the Circle of Laughter Festival: Simply Staged. Seriously Funny.
