Tartuffe by Molière (1664)

In this episode, we dive into Tartuffe, Molière's 1664 comedic masterpiece that skewers hypocrisy with wit sharp enough to ruffle royal feathers. We'll follow the gullible Orgon, the pious-pretending scoundrel Tartuffe, and a household caught in a hilarious tug-of-war between common sense and spiritual fraud. With its blend of biting satire, fast-paced banter, and timeless insight into human folly, Tartuffe remains one of theater's most joyful takedowns of self-righteousness. Join us as we expose the charm—and the con—behind one of comedy's greatest impostors.
