About the Show
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum presents a hilarious satire about greed, corruption and hypocrisy at its beautiful outdoor venue in Topanga. In
Tartuffe: Born Again, translator and adaptor Freyda Thomas puts a contemporary spin on the original French play, recasting Molière’s
Tartuffe as a deposed televangelist who takes advantage of his naïve and gullible host to rook him and his family of their money. Moliere's legendary comedic characters are wonderfully at home in this present day version, which is set in a religious television studio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and written wholly in delightful modern verse.
