Few villains in the world of theatre are as conniving, ruthless and outrageously comical as the Moliére's devoutly unscrupulous Tartuffe. The holier-than-thou, quintessential con-man uses religious piety to worm his way into the home of an aristocratic 17th century household. Moliére's timeless comedy has kept audiences laughing for nearly 350 years and remains as fresh and pointed today as when it was first performed in 1664. Hypocrisy and greed are, it seems, a limitless resource. For additional information see: www.uiowa.edu/~theatre.
