‘Tartuffe’ - “Ever met a guru and wondered what people saw in him?”. Dartington Playgoers’ autumn production is ‘Tartuffe’, the timeless 17^th century, satirical comedy by Moliere, which still holds much to amuse us. Translated by Roger McGough, directed by Patrick Cooper and with a cast which includes several South Brent actors. Often considered Moliere’s greatest play, ‘Tartuffe’, or ‘The Imposter’, is about religious hypocrisy, family disfunction and human gullibility. Tartuffe a (very obviously) fake holy man, is a sanctimonious scoundrel who, professing extreme piety, is taken into the household of Orgon, the well-intentioned, wealthy, patriarchal head of a well-to-do family. Orgon is besotted with Tartuffe. Under the guise of ministering to the family’s moral and spiritual needs, Tartuffe sets about taking full advantage, trying to marry Orgon’s daughter and seduce his wife, almost destroying Orgon’s family.  Tickets available now, via www.dartington.org/event/dartington-playgoers-tartuffe-by-moliere/.
