Who is fooling the fools? Or do the fools fool themselves? No, Tartuffe fools the fools! During Tartuffe’s 1664 premiere, Moliére’s hilarious and savage satire against power and piety enraged the religious censors, relying on the intervention of King Louis himself to continue the performance. Starlight Theatre Co-op revives this 17th Century French Satire performance at Centre Stage Theatre, Spring Hill with Play 5 in their 2008 Premiere Season. Come join Starlight Theatre Co-op for old school French comedy.
