Tartuffe – He only wants what’s best from you!
Cornwall’s Miracle Theatre celebrate their 30th anniversary with a new adaptation of Tartuffe, Molière’s sharpest comedy. This masterclass in hypocrisy, as fresh and provoking as when it was banned in 1664, is perfectly suited to Miracle’s high energy outdoor performance style.
Orgon welcomes the righteous Tartuffe into his home, adopting him as a spiritual and life-style guide. To prove that he is a devoted disciple Orgon signs over everything he owns. His family smells a rat and sets out on a crazy and hilarious journey to rescue their inheritance and expose Tartuffe for the hypocritical villain he is.
Miracle Theatre apply their love of satire, farce and physical theatre to this timeless classic, laying bare aspects of human nature uncomfortably familiar to us all.
Cornwall’s Miracle Theatre Company has been touring South West England for 30 years and is one of the region’s most popular theatre companies. Now touring widely across the UK, Miracle’s reputation for “sophisticated innovative comic theatre” just grows and grows.
