Tartuffe by Molière
Tartuffe is Molière’s beloved classic tale of a clever con artist, who pretends to be a pious man in order to take advantage of a wealthy but gullible gentleman and his family. Young lovers’ plans are torn asunder, the family is thrown into discord, the lady of the house must defend her virtue, and the clever and insolent maid tries to set things right before the stubborn patriarch loses everything. This witty, funny, and fast-paced romp caused an uproar in its day with its indictment of religious hypocrisy. Modern audiences will find it fresh, hilarious, and remarkably resonant in our modern times.
