Wit, cunning, and hypocrisy are on full display in Imposter! Hypocrite! TARTUFFE!, a punk-rock remake of Moliere’s classic farce. Circle Theatre’s Artistic Director Ashley H. White pens a new approach to the iconic play.
The play will be a swift, unapologetic whirlwind that reintroduces the timeless tale of a man who deploys his charm and feigned piety in an attempt to disrupt a household. However, his clever scheme is no match for the astute women of the family who decide to beat him at his own game. Tartuffe may believe himself to be a master of deception, but he’s seriously underestimated his targets (or perhaps, overestimated his own abilities).
With a compact cast, contemporary language, and nonstop bits, Imposter! Hypocrite! TARTUFFE! - making its world premiere - delves deep into the realms of human desires and power dynamics, offering a fresh, biting take on the classic French comedy. The production contains adult language and situations.
