SHOW SYNOPSIS AND OUR PRODUCTION
Korda’s season opens with renowned French playwright Molière's most masterful and most frequently performed play, skillfully translated into English by Richard Wilbur. The story takes place in the home of the wealthy Orgon, where TARTUFFE – a fraud and a pious imposter – has insinuated himself. He succeeds magnificently in winning the respect and devotion of the head of the house and then tries to marry his daughter, seduce his wife, and scrounge the deed to the property. Further complications arise courtesy of a visiting emissary from King Louix XIV. The script examines the evil that men can commit in the guise of religious fervor and the dangers that imperil those who would believe only what they choose to believe despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. A sparkling version of one of the great comedies of the French Theater. This unforgettable classic will be directed by Korda’s Resident Director Jeff Marontate.
