How does the immune system of a family allow an infectious stranger to wreak havoc? A devilish comedy about the art of deception and the price of misplaced faith, Moliere's Tartuffe reveals a tale as outrageous as it is insightful. When the cunning Tartuffe wields a pretense of piety to capture the imagination of Orgon, the scoundrel succeeds in usurping the patriarch's home, throwing Orgon's family into utter chaos. As Orgon's infatuation with Tartuffe's fraudulent religious fervor grows, the depth of Tartuffe's deception becomes increasingly threatening.
