Tartuffe (Raúl E. Esparza): a dubiously pious crook, happy to use the bible as a prop for personal gain. Orgon (Samira Wiley): a naive, lost, and aging patriarch, lusting for his fleeting power. When these two forces meet in Molière's timely satire TARTUFFE, division and chaos take over, until lies are exposed and fallacy is extracted from the home.
Follow the cast and creative team on their special #Tartuesday Twitter Event on Tuesday, July 7 at 7pm EST as they live-tweet during the rebroadcast.
