Tartuffe
Description
Molière's comic masterpiece about an irreclaimable hypocrite - one of the most famous French plays of all time.
The pious Tartuffe is lodging with Orgon and his family, ingratiating himself with both his host and his host's mother to such a degree that both are blinded to his true – rather less virtuous – designs. Like marrying Orgon's daughter Mariane, whilst seducing his wife, Elmire.
