Tartuffe

A man in a suit with crossed fingers behind back, text reads

By Molière

Directed by Michael Zampelli, S.J.

Louis B. Mayer Theatre

March 2–10, 2018

Molière’s masterpiece Tartuffe is a hilarious farce that holds a mirror up to the face of religious hypocrisy, even as it reflects the human willingness to be sold "a bill of goods." In 2018, as in 1664, this classic comedy tickles us with the unsettling truth that there are some kinds of gullibility from which only a miracle can save us!

“Tartuffe (Hampton Translation)” is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
