Seventeenth-Century Play, Tartuffe, Brings Topical Wit to CCES Stage Additional
Links:
Hypocrisy, religion, and deceit make for an irreverent mix in Moliere's famed satire,Tartuffe, which will be performed on April 23, 24, and 25 at 8 p.m. in the Upper School Drama Room. The play, also known as "The Hypocrite," or "L'Imposteur," has a colorful history, having been banned from the stage in 1664 by King Louis XIV (and nevertheless performed while he was in Flanders three years later).
Directed by drama teacher David Sims (who also plays the part of the Police Officer), the Cavalier Players cast includes senior George Washburn as Tartuffe, along with seniors Katie Atkinson, Elizabeth Beeson, and Emily Cull; juniors Rachel Amato, Elizabeth Blake, Emmett Davis, Thomas Freeman, Grace Sykes, and Jonathan Pierce; sophomore Dexter Rogers; and freshman McAdams Christopher.
