A new sparkling and witty version by Roger McGough of Moliere's
comedy published as a programme text to accompany the premiere at
the Liverpool Everyman on 9 May 2008. Tartuffe is a beacon of piety
and in the home of wealthy merchant Orgon he has his feet firmly
under the table. But all is not as it seems and as Orgon becomes
more enraptured with his new companion the whole city is
chattering. Is he a friend, a fraud, a miracle or a hypocrite? The
family smell a rat and amidst the frills and frivolity of
seventeenth century society they hatch a cunning plan to outwit the
wily deceiver before he brings their house crashing down. Moliere
wrote "Tartuffe" in 1664 but the play was banned following its
first production in Paris; it wasn't until 1669 that it was revived
and became one of his greatest successes.
