Tartuffe

Moliere’s comedy Tartuffe centers around a conning and cunning imposter, Tartuffe, a supposed holy man who has wound Orgon and Orgon’s conservative mother tightly around his finger. But Tartuffe’s antics do not fool the entire household and Orgon’s family go to great lengths to expose the fraud for what he is. When all hope seems lost and the family are at their wits end, a little divine intervention lends a hand. Tartuffe explores the dynamics of the family, logic versus emotion, and the dangers of hypocrisy.
