TARTUFFE

Tartuffe is a theatrical comedy by Molière, first performed in 1664. Considered one of the greatest classical theatre roles, Tartuffe is a despicable character who moves in on a respectable family with designs on the wife, the daughter and the inheritance. The audience can see this before the family does. I was attracted to the understated menace in this particular scene.
