Tartuffe

A rare opportunity for Bath theatre audiences to enjoy one of the great masterpieces of France’s favourite playwright.

 

The play recounts the ravages inflicted on the peaceful lives of a middle-class household by one of the greatest con-men of all time.

 

The production is in traditional style and uses a superlative verse translation by Pulitzer Prize winning poet Richard Wilbur, while Molière’s comic genius ensures a feast of sparkling comedy – with a few thought-provoking moments thrown in.
