Tartuffe By Moliere

So popular have Scottish adaptations of Molière proved that they are affectionately known as the 'McMolières' His portrayal and understanding of his warts and all
characters enables us, as Burns puts it, 'To see oursels as ithers see us'.

Tartuffe is not only the best example of how well the great man's plays translate into
Scots but the most authentic adaptation of a Molière you are ever likely to see.

Lochhead manages to capture the play's very heart and soul: a masterclass of human folly told with panache, a fine use of language, and real characters. Bright, vivid, cringingly, selfish and painfully funny.

Venue: New Athenaeum Theatre.
