About This Show

An evening of wit, satire, and uproarious laughter with Molière's timeless comedic masterpiece, Tartuffe. This extraordinary production, translated into English verse by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Richard Wilbur, is directed by Richard Baird. Tartuffe, a charismatic charlatan, insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy family, setting off a chain reaction of disruption and pandemonium. Wilbur's translation infuses the play with wicked precision and brilliantly rhyming verses, highlighting its satirical commentary on religious hypocrisy, duplicity, lust, and self-inflicted chaos. Audiences who appreciate classic theater and ingenious wordplay are in for a treat as they witness this inventive and entertaining evening unfold before them. Following its run at North Coast Rep, Tartuffe will transfer to Laguna Playhouse, ensuring that even more theater enthusiasts can experience this exciting take on a classic.
