Tartuffe, considered by many to be Moliere’s best work. A hypocrite to whom Orgon entrusts his soul, his house and fortune, and finally his daughter is in love with another. By the time Orgon sees the light, only the courts can insure justice. This translation of Moliere’s classic depiction of hypocrisy in action was done for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“The assumption behind this ferociously brilliant production is that Tartuffe is much too serious and alarming a work to be insulated behind any English equivalent of French classical style. The greatest compliment I can bestow on Hampton’s translation is that…you hardly notice it. Plain, perfectly phrased blank verse does the job.”-London Times
