"Tartuffe": Moliere's Madcap Masterpiece

Molière's masterpiece "Tartuffe" is a hilarious farce that holds a mirror up to the face of hypocrisy, even as it reflects the human willingness to be sold "a bill of goods." While a con man spins lies to achieve his own goals, those who speak the truth find that sometimes people would rather not listen to it. In 2018, as in 1664, this classic comedy tickles us with the unsettling truth that there are some kinds of gullibility from which only a miracle can save us. Enjoy this Perisphere Theater production of "Tartuffe", hosted by Capital Fringe, at the Logan Fringe Arts Space in Washington, D.C.
