Moliere\u2019s comic masterpiece about an irreclaimable hypocrite \u2013 one of the most famous plays of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pious Tartuffe is lodging with Orgon and his family, ingratiating himself with both his host and his host\u2019s mother to such a degree that both are blinded to his true \u2013 rather less virtuous \u2013 designs. Like marrying Orgon\u2019s daughter Mariane, whilst seducing his wife, Elmire. The rest of the family, incensed by Orgon\u2019s ignorance, set about trying to expose Tartuffe\u2019s despicable design. Orgon\u2019s son, Damis, overhears Tartuffe professing his love for his mother, and believes that this information must surely unbind his father from the spell \u2013 but instead Orgon disinherits his son and names Tartuffe as his sole heir. So when Orgon finally discovers the truth about his beneficiary, it is too late; Tartuffe has already set in motion his plans to evict the destitute family from the house he now owns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
