The wickedly gleeful Tartuffe offers audiences the story of Orgon, a husband and father ready to sacrifice his family's happiness to Tartuffe, the religious hypocrite who has him in his sway. Moliere's scathing satire skewers false moralists and those blind or frightened enough to follow them, but also offers the hope that true goodness and plain old common sense can save anyone... if only they'll agree to be saved.
