'Le Lycanthrope; a Revenge-Farce with a Monster-Movie Groove'
'Le Lycanthrope' is an unofficial sequel to Moliere's play, 'Le Misanthrope', which ends with the titular Misanthrope, Alceste, furiously leaving Paris, vowing not to live in a Society "where Man is arrant Wolf to Man".
'Le Lycanthrope' picks up the action six years later (1673), and Alceste has returned to Paris for Revenge, claiming to be a Lycanthrope (Were-wolf), and invites his enemies to a Halloween Party...
Composed in rhyming couplets of iambic pentameter, this play is equal parts revenge-tragedy, farce, and 1940's-era Monster Movie.
