Tartuffe; Or, The Hypocrite
by Molière
Translated by Curtis Hidden Page
"Tartuffe; Or, The Hypocrite" by Molière is a theatrical comedy first performed in 1664. When Orgon and his mother fall under the spell of Tartuffe, a pious fraud, their household erupts in chaos. Tartuffe manipulates the family with feigned devotion while plotting to marry Orgon's daughter and seize his wealth. As the hypocrite's true nature threatens to destroy them all, Orgon's wife Elmire devises a daring plan to expose the impostor before it's too late.
