Banned in Paris in 1664, Tartuffe is one of Moliere's best loved -- and most clever -- comedies. Few scoundrels are as roguish, charming or hilarious as Tartuffe, an impostor and fraud who insinuates himself into the home of Orgon and his family. As Orgon's infatuation with his guest and his phony piety grows, Tartuffe's deception threatens to turn downright destructive in this comic masterpiece. He throws the entire household into chaos when he tries to marry Orgon's daughter, seduce his wife and make off with the deed to the property, nearly getting away with his deceit. See this comic classic at the Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts.
