Tartuffe

|
The story of a hypocritical holy man, Tartuffe, and his designs on the fortunes and favors of a rich merchant family have delighted audiences for centuries. As Tartuffe entrances Orgon with his false piety, it's up to his wife to expose the hypocrite for who he really is before he walks away with their fortune, their home, and even their daughter. Hilarity abounds in this version of Tartuffe adapted for performance by Niclas Olson from a translation by Curtis Hidden Page. (5M, 4W)
TARTUFFE had its world premiere on June 28, 2019 at the Dukesbay Theater in Tacoma, in a production by New Muses Theatre Company. It was directed and designed by Niclas Olson. Costumes, sound and stage management were by Bethany Bevier.
