Hard Cough

L’Avare is a 1668 five-act satirical comedy by French playwright Molière. Its title is usually translated as The Miser when the play is performed in English.

The play was first performed in 1668 at the Palais Royal in a period when Molière’s company was, on the one hand, under considerable establishment pressure to modify its output, but on the other hand, under the protection of Louis XIV himself. Little is known about the original performance, although it is said that Molière himself played Harpagon, utilising his by this point chronic cough and gait to humorous effect.

Tilahun Gugsa, a renoun Actor, Director and promoter, has produced and performed this play into an Amharic (Ethiopia’s official language) over 20 years ago. With such a great demand from the public it’s now been out on DVD, For further info:-
