Summary: Orgon's family has it all: money, fortune, fame. But Dad's new friend is going to spoil all the fun. Tartuffe works his magic, brimming with religious fervor. But is his piety genuine or is he an imposter bent on destroying every last shred of the family's domestic happiness? Reset in a high-fashion, high-stakes, and big-bucks world of the modern top 1%, Moliere's classic tour de force explores religious hypocrisy which lies in stark contrast to true Christian virtue.
