The Parlour Players autumn production is Moliere’s satirical comedic masterpiece, Tartuffe.
Tartuffe is a charlatan posing as a pure and pious man. He has deceived the wealthy Orgon into installing him in his home and enjoys its comforts. Orgon goes so far as to push his daughter towards marrying Tartuffe and signs over his estate to him.
Tartuffe meanwhile has lustful designs on Orgon’s wife, Elmire. Except for Orgon’s equally deluded mother, the rest of the household see through Tartuffe and conspire to expose his true nature. This witty and sparkling adaptation of Moliere’s classic tale of religious hypocrisy by roger McGough premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2008.
The show will be performed in the Sanderstead United Reformed Church Hall, Sanderstead Hill on Thursday 6th, Friday 7th and Saturday 8th November at 7.45pm with a matinee on the Saturday at 2.30pm. Tickets costs £10 and go on sale on Monday 22nd September.
