The penny pinching Harpagon reckons there's a mint to be made in marriage and intends to cash in on both his children and himself - but Elise and Cleante believe in love over money and have fallen head-over-heels for suitors of their own. 

Someone's going to get married tonight, but as the children fight to follow their hearts' desires whatver the cost, Harpagon plots to stop his credit being crunched, and nothing and nobody is quite as it seems in Moliere's RIOTOUS and RAPID-FIRE comedy.
