The Rose Theatre
Kingston upon Thames
Presented by the Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse
Directed by Gemma Bodinetz
Tartuffe is a beacon of piety and in the home of wealthy merchant Orgon he has his feet firmly under the table. But all is not as it seems and as Orgon becomes more enraptured with his new companion the whole city is chattering. Is he a friend, a fraud, a miracle or a hypocrite?
“McGough’s adaptation is anarchic, irreverent and hysterically funny.” Observer
The family smell a rat and amidst the frills and frivolity of seventeenth century society, they hatch a cunning plan to outwit the wily deceiver before he brings their house crashing down.
“There simply aren’t enough superlatives to express just how glorious this production is. A perfect night out!” The Stage
Originally banned by Louis XIV, Tartuffe is Molière’s famous comedy re-told by the Liverpool
Everyman and Playhouse for their European Capital of Culture year, in a sparkling and witty new version by ‘Liverpool’s Poet Laureate’, Roger McGough.
