Subject: ART Presents TARTUFFE
Tartuffe, a satirical comedy by Molière, presented by UA’s Arizona Repertory Theatre
What: Tartuffe, by Molière—presented by the UA School of Theatre Arts Arizona Repertory Theatre (ART). Directed and translated from the French by University Distinguished Professor Harold Dixon.
The Los Angeles Times says “[Dixon’s] rhymed translation is quite actable and occasionally vernacular-sharp.”
James Reel of Tucson Weekly says it is a "pitch-perfect production of Molière"
Season Producer Sponsor: The Harris
Season Media Sponsors: KUAT-FM & KUAZ-AM/FM
Production Sponsors: Royal Elizabeth Bed & Breakfast
Few villains in the world of theatre are as conniving, ruthless and outrageously comical as Molière’s devoutly unscrupulous Tartuffe, the holier-than-thou hypocrite who uses religious piety to worm his way into the lives of an aristocratic 17th-century family. When the wife of the duped head of the house unfolds a plot to reveal Tartuffe’s true nature, we are treated to one of the funniest scenes in Western drama. Mature themes.
