“Everything old is new again”—can still hold true—

So don’t turn away when Tartuffe, the current Cleveland Play House production, is described as a “classic French farce.” It is and it isn’t.

Ranjit Bolt’s updated translation of Molière’s 17th-century satire, Tartuffe, directed by Jason O’Connell, sets the story in 1980s sitcom land. The characters’ outlandish reactions mock fashion and reaction, teens and adults, greed, and vanity, and, well—everything.
