Tartuffe is a charlatan posing as a pure and pious man. He has deceived the wealthy Orgon into installing him in his home and enjoys its comforts. Orgon goes so far as to push his daughter towards marrying Tartuffe and signs over his estate to him.
Tartuffe meanwhile has lustful designs on Orgon’s wife Elmire. Except for Orgon’s equally deluded mother, the rest of the household see through Tartuffe and conspire to expose his true nature. This witty and sparkling adaptation of Molière’s classic comedy by Roger McGough premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2008.
Our Spring 2026 play will be The Diary of Anne Frank dramatised by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett on May 14, 15 and 16, 2026
Audition details will be found on our Auditions page nearer the time.
Few more poignant true stories emerged from World War II than the diary of young Anne Frank. Published long afterwards by her father, the only family survivor, it records the minutiae of twenty-five months that two Jewish families spent in hiding from the Gestapo in an Amsterdam warehouse attic. The constant secrecy, growing hunger and friction of living in such cramped conditions could not dull Anne's vibrant personality or her passion for living.
