With a razor-sharp translation by Ranjit Bolt (OBE) and direction by Keaton Wooden, the scandalous satire that once shocked Paris returns as an opulent evening of ritual, revelry, and theatrical excess. The exclusive and unforgettable evening will have audience members just feet from the action in a beautifully appointed library which was transported floorboard by floorboard from a monastery in Italy.
Tartuffe takes place at the estate of Orgon, whose blind faith in the false holy man invites disaster, greed and lust. Eventually unmasking Tartuffe’s counterfeit piety, the family reveals the moral charade, banishing the demon of deceit, and restoring clarity, justice, and truth to the household.
The creative team includes Keaton Wooden (Director), Kate Rance (Scenic Design), Yang Yu (Lighting Design), Bill Toles (Sound Design), Tere Duncan (Costume Designer), Marcus Watson (Fight & Intimacy Director), Drew Wutke (Music Director/Score/Pianist), and Christine Treuhold (Assistant Director).
