Tartuffe

Tartuffe is a hilarious romp based on the original Moliere comedy. This modern English version by Tim Mooney, is fast-paced, saucy and very funny. It satirises religious hypocrisy, blind piety and naivety.

When the religious and odious Tartuffe wheedles his way into the wealthy Orgon’s good books, he is taken into his home and given the best of everything. Outwardly pious, but inwardly lustful, Tartuffe, is promised Orgon’s daughter Marianne’s hand in marriage. This does not go down well with the rest of the family, who see through his hypocrisy and his crafty manipulations and join forces to plot against him and expose him for what he is.
