Description

In a bustling Parisian house, the indulgent housemaster Orgon has taken a shining to the seemingly devout Tartuffe, a mysterious guest whose sermons promise virtue. His wife Elmire and skeptical children, especially the quick‑witted Dorine, watch the newcomer’s influence spread, while the matriarch Pernelle fears over her family's reputation. Tensions rise as love interests, servants, and a loyal lawyer clash over whether Tartuff’s saintly façade hides something far more cunning.

The play unfolds with Molière’s trademark wit, turning polite conversation into sharp satire of religious hypocrisy and blind devotion. Listeners are treated to lively repartee, clever misunderstandings, and a growing sense that the household’s harmony is at risk. By the end of the first act, the audience is left questioning whether faith can be weaponised and eager to hear how the characters will navigate the tangled web of deception and loyalty.

Molière

1622–1673

A master of French comedy, this playwright turned sharp observations of vanity, hypocrisy, and social ambition into plays that still feel lively onstage today. His wit is elegant, but it always lands with human warmth.
