USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Classic French Farce Tartuffe Gets a Reality Show Spin
City Garage at Bergamot Station Arts Center (Santa Monica, CA)
Santa Monica’s City Garage continues its tradition of staging ribald, contemporary versions of Moliere’s classic comedies with a new take on Tartuffe, the famed French playwright’s masterpiece about religious hypocrisy. Tartuffe, a Reality Show! introduces you to the glitzy, gaudy Beverly Hills mansion of delightfully deluded businessman Orgon Pernelle. He rescues a homeless hustler from the street who pretends to be a pious preacher, but his family sees what he doesn’t see: a masterly con-man. His trophy wife, his rebellious, spoiled children, and his naughty maid all want the cunning pervert to be thrown out. Step by step, the impostor Tartuffe seduces his victim until the man is ready to sign over everything he owns — all in the name of purifying himself spiritually. Will Tartuffe get away with it or will the family expose his evil scheme?
