"...the satirical thrusts of Tartuffe are both perennially fresh and perennially relevant..." - The Wall Street Journal
Orgon has fallen under Tartuffe's spell, the most saintly man he's ever known. But Orgon's family believes Tartuffe a fraud, out to steal his wealth, bed his wife, and wed his daughter. Will Orgon come to his senses before it's too late? The stage is set for a battle of wills in a wickedly funny and farcical take on the outer limits of hypocrisy that has entertained audiences for centuries.

When fifteen-year-old Lottie and her ne'er-do-well mother Donna drop in unannounced on the beautiful Sag Harbor home of Donna's brother Kevin and his new husband Ted, all hell breaks loose. The bonds between kith and kin are tested in this alternately biting, touching, and hilarious comedy about the constantly shifting nature of the meaning of family.
