About the show: Tartuffe by Molière, a 1664 comedic play, satirizes religious hypocrisy. The central character, Tartuffe, is a deceitful imposter who hoodwinks the wealthy Orgon with false piety. Despite Tartuffe's obvious fraudulence, Orgon remains blind to his faults. Orgon's family, particularly his wife Elmire, attempts to expose Tartuffe's true nature through comedic schemes. The play delves into themes of hypocrisy, gullibility, and the perils of blind faith. Tartuffe became one of Molière's masterpieces, celebrated for its wit and sharp critique of societal norms, and it continues to be performed today.
