Strictly Limited

Out and out Broadway star Andre De Shields (Hadestown) leads the cast in a strictly limited run of Moliere's 17th Century in the stunning surroundings of New York's historic House of the Redeemer! Translated by British playwright Ranjit Bolt, whose services to literature have earned him the award of OBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire), the play is directed by the Emmy-nominated Keaton Wooden. With only a small number of tickets available for each show, it's set to be an extra special way to witness this all time classic.

What Is The Story?

First performed in 1664, Tarfuffe has proven to be Moliere's masterpiece with myriad revivals around the world each year. A fact that might have surprised the first critic of the show, King Louis XIV, who was so scandalised, he had the show banned after the first night. In Moliere's classic, a wealthy man, Orgon, falls under the sway of Tartuffe, a pious-seeming con artist. As Tartuffe ingratiates himself deeper into the household with his fraudulent talents, seduction and good old-fashioned manipulation to get his hands on their fortune, the rest of the family races to reveal his true nature before it's too late.
