Moliére’s satirical exploration of the activities of courtly life in 17th Century France, was originally produced in 1666 and became one of Moliére’s most popular plays.
This new adaptation of “The Misanthrope” is a funny and uncomfortably recognisable reflection on modern day obsession with success, media and celebrity. Set against a backdrop of bars and nightclubs, “Faking” tells the story of a young journalist who is drowning in a social whirl of false flattery and schmooze. Savaging the socialites around him he goes on to expose the woman he loves who also happens to be the biggest faker of them all. But what if his determination to tell the truth proves more destructive than their instinct to avoid it?
