Modern Moliere: Tartuffe (2011)

Modern adaptation of Molière's famous play. Aimed at mature learners, this contemporary update of the classic play is set in present day Los Angeles, but retains the key themes explored by Molière in the 17th century. The story of a religious imposter who endeavours to embezzle a wealthy man out of his wife, family and fortune is one of the most famous in the literary canon and offers a cutting critique of those who seek to profit through hypocrisy and the feigning of virtue.
