MOLIÈRE’S TARTUFFE
Translated by David Nicholson
Directed by COREY CASTLE
 
Fooled and foiled? One of Molière’s most famous theatrical comedies will be featured this year at the Stratford Festival and at Lakeshore Players Dorval Dorval! – Set in Montreal in 1951, Orgon, a wealthy businessman, entrusts his reputation and fortune to a self-professed man of God, Tartuffe. As the cunning and lustful impostor manoeuvres himself deeper into his household and his family, Orgon’s world gets turned hilariously upside-down.
