Liz Lochhead’s wonderful Scots translation and adaptation of Tartuffe, Moliere’s most famous comedy. Read more …

It was written and first performed in 1664 at the fetes held at Versailles and was almost immediately censored by King Louis XIV.

The story of an attempt, by an irreclaimable hypocrite, to destroy the domestic happiness of a citizen who, charmed by his seeming piety, has received him as a prominent guest.


The critical consensus

A joyous treat.

****(*)Alan Chadwick, The Herald

I have never seen a top-flight cast of Scottish actors give a sharper, funnier, or more brilliant comic performance.
