The Belfry Stage, Upstairs at The Crown (North Hollywood, CA)
Theatre Unleashed kicks off its 2014 season with one of the greatest and most controversial satires of all time. Banned in Paris in 1664, Moliere’s Tartuffe is still a beloved and highly performed comedy more than three centuries later. Few scoundrels are as roguish, charming or hilarious as Tartuffe, an impostor who insinuates himself into the home of Orgon and his family, quickly throwing the entire household into chaos. As Orgon’s infatuation with his guest and his phony piety grows, Tartuffe’s deception threatens to turn downright destructive. Using Ranjit Bolt’s daring translation, Moliere’s signature work is aggressively presented by classics master director Jeff Soroka, who explores in rapid-fire fashion the themes of obsession, control, gullibility, the absurdity of zealotry and, above all, hypocrisy.
