ScratchNight is a celebration of new writing and the KDC community: its actors, directors and, of course, the writers.

The Misanthrope

What if honesty makes you the odd one out?
What if power goes to one, and not the people?
And what if reason plays no part…
in deciding matters of the heart?



KDC Theatre presents “The Misanthrope”,
based on the play by Molière and adapted by Matthew Partridge
Directed by Angelika Michitsch

24-28 March 2026

About

Corruption, intrigue, deception and hope.

Forget love triangles – this frisky play relates an octagon of tangled romantic interests, mingled with corruption and mangled by characters with one aim: to get what they want, no matter the cost.
Amidst all this, will Alex West, a truth-telling journalist, be able to stick to his moralistic views?
Will Oronte, his rival for Celine’s affection and petty politician extraordinaire, be able to climb to the top?
What happens when the person we desire is the person we most dislike?
Set in a seedy cocktail bar in politically ravaged ‘Maghrebia’, this modern adaptation of Molière’s classic is a comedy as dark as Oronte’s shades.

Cast:
Kristen: Nelena Paparisva
Oronte: Ben Anadolu
Alex West: Jack Curtin
Lauren: Anya Smith-Roman
Celine: Katie Francis
Gregory: Randy Brown
Ben: Marshall Camden
Joan: Harleen Bahra

About

Five cooks in the small kitchen of The Golden Dragon.
They are immigrants.
They are illegal.
They have no papers. 

And while they struggle in the kitchen, the people around them have no idea what is happening: The grandfather, his granddaughter, her boy friend, the man in the striped shirt, all of them have their own hardship, hidden behind the doors of their apartments. And the shopkeeper, Hans, really has something to hide.

The Golden Dragon is a play about anonymity in big cities, the neighbours we hardly know. About the people who don’t even exist on paper. A play about the misery hidden under the surface.

Cast:
The Young Man: Ethan Solanki
The Young Woman: Carolina Penco Salvi
The Man: Max Orel
The Man Over Sixty: Clovis Parker-Jervis
The Woman Over Sixty: Jenni Wredden

Creative team:
Director: Alexander Kampmann
Assistant Director: Azul Alysum
