Purchase TicketsIn this strictly limited engagement, exclusively 100 guests per night will witness an “exorcism of hypocrisy” inspired by Molière’s infamous deceiver.
With a razor-sharp translation by Ranjit Bolt (OBE) and direction by Keaton Wooden, the scandalous satire that once shocked Paris returns as an opulent evening of ritual, revelry, and theatrical excess. Premium VIP tickets unlock entry to Tartuffe’s "sycophant soirée" with live music and privileged access to one of New York’s most historic and hidden edifices.
Performances begin on October 1 and the production will run through November 23. Opening night is set for October 9. The production is produced by Tall Order Productions, goaTman, and Broadway & Beyond Theatricals (BBT) serves as Executive Producer.
Co-producers of Tartuffe include Karen Taffner Butler and Ron Butler, 30 Minutes From Broadway Entertainment, Jeanne McInerney, and Scott Wyatt.
Tartuffe takes place at the estate of Orgon, whose blind faith in the false holy man invites disaster, greed and lust. Eventually unmasking Tartuffe’s counterfeit piety, the family reveals the moral charade, banishing the demon of deceit, and restoring clarity, justice, and truth to the household.
Tony Award Winner® André De Shields expresses, “Just now in American culture, hypocrisy and delusion and belligerence are more pernicious than racism, sexism and otherism, and are no respecter of person, economic status, age, geography nor gender. Younger generations deserve nobler examples of personal success and global citizenship. Moliére's Tartuffe is a master class in how to avoid self-demolition.”
Director Keaton Wooden writes, “At its core, Tartuffe is a morality tale about our capacity for collective madness: how effortlessly we become spellbound by the things we most want to believe. And as we know, this is no distant fable; In many ways, we are living in the Age of Tartuffe. Happening before our eyes, up close and personal. And to help that sink in, we are inviting the audiences to live it with us, to step inside, and hopefully discover a spark of courage by confronting these grave and serious truths by treating them, for one evening together, very un-seriously.”
