Tartuffe, Moliere’s comic masterpiece featuring his hilarious use of satire, brings us Tartuffe – a religious/zealot con artist extraordinaire who oozes godliness and charisma. Will Tartuffe’s hypocrisy be found out before Orgon’s family is completely given to the madness of Tartuffe’s secret plan? Is his plan to take everything that is important to Orgon: his wife, family, money, and place in the community? This famous farce is a cautionary tale told with lightning quick wit, complete with star-crossed lovers, a discontented wife, a very frustrated son, and a hoodwinked husband. With a plot that could be ripped from today’s headlines, Tartuffe, features hilarious conflict and rapid-fire resolution!
