André De Shields is Tartuffe

Tony winner André De Shields stars in a new production of Molière’s Tartuffe, staged in the library of House of the Redeemer on the Upper East Side.

Tartuffe takes place at the estate of Orgon, whose blind faith in the false holy man invites disaster, greed and lust. Eventually unmasking Tartuffe’s counterfeit piety, the family reveals the moral charade, banishing the demon of deceit, and restoring clarity, justice, and truth to the household.
