Our exciting 2008-2009 season gets off to a hilarious start with Moliére’s classic comedy Tartuffe. Written for Louis XIV, Moliére pokes fun at the religious who espouse piety but are actually hypocrites. Controversy has surrounded this comedy of manners from its first edition in 1664. Join us in the Stagehouse Theatre and see why Tartuffe or The Imposter ranks as Moliére’s comic masterpiece.
