Justin’s best play to date? You betcha.
To be so honest, Moliere has not “done it” for me — but I walked away from reading this going: “Has (Justin) had the key to old French plays this whole time?” Some real earnest moments, honest monologues, and great comedy make for a killer script. Produce this. Let me direct this. Make a movie. Whatever it takes.

A funny, compelling innovation on a classic. This play reframes The Misanthrope’s themes in a way that is more inclusive and empowering, which ultimately makes a modern audience better able to engage with the text. All the benefits of the script being a treat rather than a chore, but it packs the same intellectual punch as the original.
