Description

Tartuffe by Molière and Roger McGough is a witty and sparkling comedy about deception and hypocrisy in 17th-century society. A wealthy merchant's new companion seems like a beacon of piety, but as the family becomes more entrenched in their relationship, they begin to suspect that all is not as it seems. As the city chatters on about the newcomer, the family hatches a cunning plan to outwit the wily deceiver before he brings their house crashing down. This new version by Roger McGough brings Molière's 1664 play into the modern era, offering a fresh take on a timeless theme. First performed in Paris in 1664, Tartuffe was banned following its first production and wasn't revived until 1669. Now, this sparkling adaptation is available to bring you the wit and satire of one of Molière's greatest successes.
