“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. ****************** *Bottom Line: CPH offers a lively engaging production of an old old story. It’s not all that hard to relate to characters imagined by Molière. (All we** have to do is look at the news.) A bit of laughter goes a long way and sometimes, as the trite saying goes, it’ is the best medicine.* *Full Review* at https://coolcleveland.com/2026/04/theater-review-tartuffe-cleveland-playhous...
