Description

Inspired by Molière’s 17th-century dark comedy, Tartuffe has been rewritten for a modern audience with a feminist twist.

Student-led, feminist theatre company Green Sun Productions brings you a piece of new writing which explores the many ways in which Molière’s world of hypocrisy, patriarchy and sexism may not be quite as far behind us as we think…
