This is Moliere\u2019s Tartuffe, who\u2019s central character is a wily, opportunist<br \/>\nand swindler, affects sanctity and gains complete trust of the head of a wealthy family<br \/>\nwhile everyone else sees how Tartuffe really is: crooked.

Its thought is as modern as today\u2019s police states and The Bomb; its theatrical impact has everywhere been called a major innovation. It is total theatre; philosophically problematic, visually terrifying, it engages the eye, the ear and the mind with every imaginable dramatic device, technique and stage picture, even including song and dance. The play is basically concerned with the problem of revolution. Are the same things true for the masses and for their leaders? And where, in modern times, lie the borderlines of sanity?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singin&#8217; In the Rain Based on the MGM film.
