SATIRE. The wealthy Orgon is a man of principle, but he is easily duped by Tartuffe, a sinister con man, who―under the guise of being a pious, righteous man―has set out to steal Orgon’s estate, seduce his wife, and marry his daughter. In Tartuffe, Molière satirizes with a razor-sharp wit religious hypocrisy and blind faith. This one-act adaptation contains all of the most memorable scenes from the original and features a strong ensemble cast.
