“John Donnelly produced one of the best versions of The Seagull that I’ve ever seen so I have high hopes for his new version of Moliere’s play about a man who has everything and yet still feels a lack. Enter Tartuffe, a man promising more who turns out to be a charlatan. Blanche McIntyre directs and Denis O’Hare makes his NT debut as the trickster.”
A ferocious new version of Molière’s comic masterpiece.
Overview
Orgon is the man who has everything. Money, power, a beautiful home and family. But lately he’s been questioning the point of it all. When he invites the irresistible Tartuffe into his seemingly perfect household, he unleashes a whirlwind of deception and seduction that threatens everything.
With Orgon under Tartuffe's spell, can his family outwit this charismatic trickster? Are Tartuffe's wild claims truth or fiction? This mysterious stranger may not be quite the villain he appears.
