Book Synopsis
Molière''s comedy classic is ingeniously reimagined in Andy Jones'' hilarious adaptation, set in 1930s Newfoundland. The original Tartuffe, by France''s most celebrated comic playwright, is set in seventeenth-century Parisian high society during the reign of King Louis XIV. Jones'' Tartuffe, set in the home of a wealthy fish merchant on the South Coast of Newfoundland, is a blazingly funny exploration of religious hypocrisy, with a unique Newfoundland twist. Jones cadence and use of old Newfoundland turns of phrase are his trademark on page and stage, and they are effective in Tartuffe.
