Tartuffe

Molière’s timeless comedic masterpiece is translated into English by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Richard Wilbur and directed by Richard Baird.

Tartuffe, a charismatic charlatan, weaves 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.
