005 - Act 5

from Miser · host Molière

The Miser is a witty comedy of manners that revolves around the life of Harpagon, a wealthy and miserly moneylender. His spirited children yearn to break free from his tight-fisted grip and pursue their own romantic passions. While the upper classes of 17th-century France may have taken issue with the plays themes, it offers a lighter touch and a more nuanced perspective than Molières earlier work, Tartuffe, which faced significant backlash upon its debut.

His uncle, Ebenezer (as close a miser as Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge), is shocked to suddenly have his young relative descend on him and tries to rid himself of David with an arranged accident. Failing that, he pays the captain of a brig to kidnap David and sell him into slavery in Carolina.A collision in the fog brings onboard the brig a survivor, Alan Breck Stewart, who is carrying a dangerous amount of gold on his person. David warns him of a plan by the brig's captain and crew to overpower him and seize the money, and then finds himself fighting alongside Alan in a battle royale.
