Tartuffe is a beacon of piety and, in the home of the wealthy merchant Orgon, he has his feet firmly under the table. But all is not as it seems and, as Orgon becomes more enraptured with his new companion, the whole city is chattering. Is he a friend, a fraud, a miracle or a hypocrite. The family smell a rat, and amidst the frills and frivolity, they hatch a cunning plan to outwit the wily deceiver before he brings the house crashing down.
Tartuffe in this sparkling and witty version by Roger McGough premiered in the Liverpool Everyman in May 2008. Following his successful 2016 production of The Hypochondriac.
