ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Inspired by Molière’s classic comedy The Miser, Cheap follows a family trapped in the orbit of a matriarch whose obsession with wealth outweighs his capacity for love, trust, or generosity. As greed, deception, and competing desires collide, children scheme for independence, lovers fight for their futures, and every relationship is tested by the cost of putting money above people. This sharp new adaptation reveals that while human nature may remain stubbornly familiar, each generation has the opportunity to challenge the values it inherits and decide what is truly worth holding onto.

REVIEWS
WomensWork is thrilled to return to Burbage for Season 15 with something truly special – a World Premiere! Set in Paris, Texas in the gilded, greedy 1980s, the show is a romp through the topics of money, love and loyalty. We’re excited for audiences to share the fun of this fast-paced, party of a production, reimagined by Margaret specifically for WomensWork.

Moliere uniquely anticipated the best values of the Enlightenment... He is a common-sense realist... believing not in an ordered but a balanced world... Perhaps only Jane Austen among the world's masters equals him.
– The New Yorker
Moliere is the painter of humanity.
– Voltaire
