Brookfield East Drama Department Presents: Tartuffe by Molière

  • Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts 3270 Mitchell Park Drive Brookfield, WI 53045 (map)

Tartuffe (1664) is a satirical comedy play by French playwright Molière (1622-1673). When the head of a wealthy French family falls under the influence of a shady character known as Tartuffe, the family becomes desperate to uncover the fraudster's true nature. Tartuffe explores the danger of religious hypocrisy and proved to be highly controversial with the French Catholic Church. The BEHS Drama Department will have a little different take, in that our setting will now be an early 1900s Texas Cattle Baron Ranch. Yee-haw!
