Orgon is a man who has everything: money, power, a beautiful home and family. But, when the irresistible Tartuffe entrances him, the seemingly perfect household is turned upside down unleashing a whirlwind of deception and seduction that threatens everything. This classic French farce poses a very relevant question about belief: should we trust what we see, or just blindly follow what we are told to be true?
