About the play

Tartuffe, a pious hypocrite, has wheedled his way into the wealthy family of Monsieur Orgon. Orgon, totally besotted by Tartuffe's charms, plans to give him not only his fortune, but his daughter's hand in marriage. The struggles of the rest of the family to expose the imposter are both hilarious and risqué.


Molière's sinfully brilliant comedy, when first performed, so shocked the clergy of the day - oh, such an attack on religious hypocrisy! that the Church called for anyone seeing it or acting in it to be excommunicated. The public, however, loved it'... and we know you will too.
