Characters: 9 male, 4 female Scenery: Interior This translation of Moliere's classic depiction of hypocrisy in action was done for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "The assumption behind this ferociously brilliant production is that Tartuffe is much too serious and alarming a work to be insulated behind any English equivalent of French classical style. The greatest compliment I can bestow on Hampton's translation is that...you hardly notice it. Plain, perfectly phrased blank verse does the job."-London TimesHampton Christopher Staff is the author of 'Tartuffe - Jean Baptiste Moliere - Paperback' with ISBN 9780573617461 and ISBN 0573617465.
