Tartuffe

Tartuffe [TAR-toof] or The Hypocrite [a guy who pretends he's pious while attempting to steal another man's wife & money]

As some of you may know, we decided to replace our last show of the season, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with the classic French comedy, Tartuffe, by Moliere. (You can read Preston's note on that the subject here.)

I'm actually really looking forward to this production now because:
It's going to be funny,
I have never seen done onstage,
We are going contemporize it & heighten it,
And Gordon Weiss & Rosie McGuire are coming back to play the funniest roles.
(You might remember both husband & wife from Tobacco Road & just Rosie from Night of the Iguana.)
