Synopsis

Episode image for Tartuffe

A Liverpool Playhouse production of Roger McGough's version of Moliere's comedy Tartuffe.

The wealthy merchant Orgon has taken in an apparently indigent religious man, Tartuffe. He is a beacon of piety and soon has his feet firmly under the table. But all is not as it seems and as Orgon becomes more enraptured with his new companion the whole city is chattering. Is he a friend, a fraud, a miracle or a hypocrite?
