"Such hypocrites are far from rare,
in fact you'll find them everywhere."
Tartuffe tricks his way into the heart and household of the affluent merchant Orgon. He is a sanctimonious and scheming con-man but appears pious and therefore considered a good example for members of the family. But through corruption and deceit the hypocrite Tartuffe plans to turn this once peaceful household upside down. The gullible Orgon fails to see his house guest for what he is and chaos ensues as, the greatest of all theatrical rogues, employs unholy tactics in order to reach his goal!
A fast-moving, witty and farcical comic masterpiece by the man considered to be the world’s greatest writer of comedies.
