Tartuffe - Moliere - at the Northcott


11-15 October - We are going on Thurs 13th at 7.30
More details from the Northcott Website
"Tartuffe is a beacon of piety and has his feet firmly under the table in the home of wealthy merchant, Orgon.  But all is not as it seems and as Orgon becomes enraptured with Tartuffe the whole city is chattering.  Is he friend, fraud, miracle or hypocrite?  The family smells a rat and amid the frills and frivolity of Seventeenth Century society, they hatch a cunning plan to outwit the wily deceiver before he brings their house crashing down...
Originally presented to great acclaim in Liverpool, this fresh and vibrant translation of the classic comedy by Molière (The Misanthrope, The School for Wives, The Miser) reunites ETT with the Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse following their hilarious joint production of Roger McGough's version of Molière's The Hypochondriac.
Awarded Producer of the Year 2010 by the Stage Newspaper, ETT's most recent visits to Exeter Northcott include Far From the Madding Crowdand Rum and Coca Cola."
