Synopsis
Tartuffe
Charles Jeffries & Luis Muñoz From Moliere
Published by Samuel French Inc
8 Male 7 Female
Orgon, a rich merchant, is completely duped by the ruse and watches approvingly as the cunning Tartuffe "reforms" his whole family
So besotted is the merchant that he even plans to give Tartuffe his fortune, his house, and finally his daughter!
Orgon's wife finally exposes Tartuffe for the rogue he is - and her husband for being a gullible fool
By the time Orgon sees the light, only the courts can insure justice
This clever adaptation of the Moliere classic calls for an energetic ensemble
Moliere's greatest work is expertly adapted for one-act competition by the authors of The Beggar's Opera, The Merry Wives of Winsor and Valpone
