COMING SOON TO THE TAPROOT
THEATRE:
MOLIERE'S TARTUFFE
Translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur
Molière’s comic masterpiece brings us the imposter Tartuffe, a con artist
extraordinaire who oozes piety and charm. Will his hypocrisy be discovered
before Orgon’s household is turned on its head? This famous farce is a
cautionary tale told with lightning-quick wit, complete with star-crossed
lovers, a badgering grandma and a plot that could be ripped from the headlines
– or a Saturday night comedy show.
Previews Feb 1 & 2. Performances Feb 3–Mar 3
Tickets Available Now!

Theatre website.
