Behind the Scenes at Tartuffe

The classic story set in Paris in 1668 where a con man, Tartuffe, has convinced the master of the house that he will save their souls by guiding them to lives of austerity and prosperity. However, all the family sees through this man except the head of the house, Orgon, who goes so far as to promise his daughter to see him in marriage as well as deeding the property away to him. It takes the willingness of the family to trick Tartuffe into revealing his true nature for Orgon to witness. Follow the comic twist, turns, and machinations that occur in this wonderful presentation that was once banned in France because of its willingness to address hypocrisy.
