New York City
Tartuffe, a charismatic con man, wins the trust of a wealthy merchant by masquerading as a religious disciple. Over the course of the play, he schemes to separate his benefactor’s family from its money and its women from their virtue. One of Molière’s most stinging satires, Tartuffe is a classic tale of hypocrisy, seduction, and greed – and is as timely today as it was in 1669.
