Tartuffe
A Newfoundland Adaptation
Description
Molière’s comedy classic is ingeniously re-imagined in Andy Jones’s hilarious adaptation, set in 1930s Newfoundland. The original Tartuffe, by France’s most celebrated comic playwright, is set in seventeenth-century Parisian high society during the reign of King Louis XIV. Jones’s Tartuffe, set in the home of a wealthy fish merchant on the South Coast of Newfoundland, is a blazingly funny exploration of religious hypocrisy, with a unique Newfoundland twist.
